The Regency Collection®
Inspired by the artistic Victorian Romanticism period, this collection conveys nature, femininity, sentimentality, and good fortune, with floral motifs, crystals in lovely bright colors, and shimmering silver or rich gold-colored filigree. Gems and jewelry in the Romanticism period had life in them; they depict intense emotions and sentiments such as friendship, faith, and love (new and young love.) Keeping true to the era, we've created The Regency Collection®.
