We love to use the term ‘ageless jewellery’, for our jewellery is ageless and timeless, as when seen through the eyes of love, beauty never fades, but there is also a practical reality to how old the piece of jewellery actually is.
When jewellery is described, part of the description entails what era, period or age the jewellery is from.
This is a brief outline of what those eras are, so you can get a sense of what period each piece of jewellery comes from.
The Eras of Ageless Jewellery
The Eras of jewellery are conventionally named after the English Queens and Kings who were ruling at that time, but there was also jewellery being made in other countries who had other rulers at the same time. These Eras each had typical styles of jewellery, clothing and hairstyles, and there were different styles within each one, especially the longer periods like the reign of Queen Victoria, and overlap between them, so the ageing and staging of a particular piece of jewellery is not always cut and dried.
Whenever something is beautiful and true, someone will always come along to copy it in a way that makes it less. You can buy cheap copies of beautiful things, but our diamonds are all real and our antique jewellery is genuinely antique.
The age of our jewellery ranges from nearly new to nearly the time of Christ, so you should be able to find something here to suit your tastes and interests … and you may find something that resonates with you because it comes from a particular time … perhaps a time you may have vibrational resonance with as your body remembers living through that period.
We are made of particles that have been present since before the beginning of time, and whilst our bodies live and die, those particles live on and come together to form other bodies in other times, so in one sense, we never die and our bodies are made of literal stardust, formed over and over and over again into living beings.
We are all ageless jewels
One of the reasons we love old jewellery is that it can reignite the feeling of having lived before, and it may even stir up memories of having lived at a particular time or having lived a particular life. Wearing a piece of our jewellery can evoke these feelings and memories of the grandness we have lived, and the grandness we all innately are, making for a rich and enriching experience.
Whatever your religious, philosophical or intellectual beliefs, stay open to the possibility that you may have lived more than one life, because whether you like it or not, whether you believe it or not, you probably have!
Enjoy being reminded that there is far more to you than just this time, place and human life.
