Queen Victoria was young, energetic, filled with youthful vitality and very much in love. This was reflected in the taste of the court. Jewelry was bold and striking. It was gaudy, rich, lush and ornate. It was more a reflection of wealth than taste. Matching suites, cabochons of four or more pieces were in. Ivory, tortoise shell, seed pearls and coral were in demand.
