The Georgian Era

This 10-part series is a journey in "Jewellery Through the Ages" beginning in the Georgian era and going all the way up to modern day. In this episode, Matthew and Alyce chat about the Georgian period, placing the jewellery and styles in their cultural and historical contexts while as always providing expert insights into the trade today such as why Georgian period jewellery is so incredibly rare nowadays and why cleaning it should really be left to the professionals.

Every week, Matty and Alyce pick their favourite jewellery icons from the period and this week's icons are Georgina Cavendish and Marie Antoinette.
