Collector NoteOn Functional Jewelry. During the Victorian era, functional jewelry emerged as a harmonious blend of utility and aesthetics, exemplified by pieces such as watch fob jewelry and chatelaines. These adornments not only served as elegant accessories but also catered to practical needs. Watch fob jewelry offered a stylish solution to secure pocket watches while adding sophistication to one's attire. On the other hand, chatelaines provided women with a convenient way to carry essential household items, such as keys, scissors, and sewing tools, attached to their clothing. The Victorian era's functional jewelry showcased the era's ingenuity, harmoniously integrating beauty and utility in every piece. On Victorian. A young Queen Victoria assumed her role in 1837 and her taste in jewelry quickly became culturally influential, within England and beyond. Her relationship to jewelry was enmeshed with her husband, Prince Albert, who gifted the Queen for their engagement, a snake ring, embedded with an emerald (her birthstone) in its head. Continuing from the Georgian era and intensified by Queen Victoria’s taste, sentimental and figural jewelry was a major trend throughout the Victorian era. When certain ideas and words were deemed too forward or improper to be spoken, jewelry and symbolic meaning was used to communicate what was left unsaid. _gsrx_vers_1608 (GS 9.5 (1608))
