Ways To Use Victorian Accessories To Enhance Your Wardrobe And Home

By: Hillary Lane Home |


Over the past several years, there has been a rapid growth in the popularity and interest in all things Victorian. Just what is the appeal of this extraordinary era in history? Some are fascinated with the history of the reign of Queen Victoria, who she was, and the times when she ruled. Others are intrigued with the conflicted morality of the Victorian society that didn't always practice what it preached. But, largely, the public's major interest in Victoriana has to be their appreciation and love of the very distinctive and ornamental style of the era, of the architecture, furnishings, art, and jewelry of the time.

However, the love for the Victorian era did not stop there. Rather, a new market has emerged with an interest in all things Victorian. This fascination with the Victorian period has increased to such an extent that many enterprising companies have sprung up on the World Wide Web, selling Victorian related items to meet the diverse needs of this growing group.

With the popularity of Victorian tea groups and societies, reproduction jewelry and fashion accessories are in demand. This is an excellent time to explore ways to add a unique touch to an outfit, or to enhance your home's dcor with reproduction accessories and furnishings.

Jewelry has always been an important aspect of style. To this day, Victorian inspired necklaces, earrings, and brooches make a statement of class and respect. Victorian jewelry reproductions are perfect for Red Hat Society ladies, Victorian Era costume designers, tea society groups, hatpin collectors, and as gifts for those who love Victorian Era Fashion.

Necklaces are known to enhance the wardrobe. A Victorian inspired necklace with an elegant pendant lends itself beautifully to your most Victorian dress as well as office attire. Earrings are another way to enhance the wardrobe and are a very versatile piece of jewelry. The most popular styles throughout the Victorian era include novelty, cameo, drop, and chandelier earrings. The important thing to consider when picking out the ideal set of earrings is the versatility that they have. For instance, they can convey a classic style that coordinates well with many outfits. On the other hand, they can convey a regal sense of old-fashioned style, or they could be that beautiful attention-getting piece.

Pins and brooches have also remained a timeless way to enhance the wardrobe. A vase pin is a pretty little sterling silver vase that pins to a garment and holds a small flower. This is the ideal Victorian accessory for a bride, mother-of-the-bride, or members of a bridal party. However, the vase pin is not limited to this occasion; it can serve as a stunning, thoughtful gift to anyone who appreciates the Victorian period. Frame pins also offer a sentimental touch and provide an ornate way to keep loved ones close by with its beautiful detail and nostalgic style. Brooches are most associated with the Victorian era. It is best to purchase a handcrafted brooch because of the care that is exercised in the creation of a piece such as this. A Victorian brooch may include faux cameos, rhinestones, Austrian crystals, or hand-selected vintage jewelry, making it unique and special.

Victorian accessories do not need to end at the wardrobe. Since the 1800's, the vanity table has been of great importance. This is a great focal point of a room and is an excellent way to display Victorian accessories. For example, a dress form can be used to elegantly drape your favorite pearl necklace over, or a jewelry stand can be used to display all of your favorite accessories. In addition, a perfume bottle or Victorian lamp also resonate the feel of that era by adding a touch of Victoriana to any room.

Whether you like to accent your wardrobe with a touch of Victoriana, or dress up in full Victorian costume and relive the days gone by, you'll find the elegance of the Victorian Era captured in hand-crafted, original, Victorian jewelry and Victorian fashion accessories.

It's hard to explain the public's fascination with the Victorian age. People collect Victoriana for many reasons, but the driving force in this trend may simply be the public's appreciation for the unique style of this era with its intricate designs. All in all, it seems our interest with the Victorian era will keep growing for some time to come.
