Origin: C. 1885, Hallmarked with an Anchor for Birmingham England, passant lion for silver.

Time Period: Aesthetic Movement occurred in the late 1800's - 1901. The idea behind the movement was art for art's sake, striving to profess that the arts should provide refined sensuous pleasure and celebrate beauty, rather than convey moral or sentimental messages. The movement rose in contrast to the heavily nostalgic and often dark Victorian period. The modern woman of the time was more independent and casual and she wanted jewelry that reflected her lifestyle. Prominent use of flowers, leaves and birds as well the Japanese arts were common themes.
