In History of the United Kingdom, the Victorian era was the period of Queen Victoria's reign, from the 20th of June 1837 until her death on the 22nd of January 1901. 

Pearls were presented as gifts to Chinese royalty as early as 2300 BC, while in ancient Rome, was considered the ultimate status symbol. According to legend, Cleopatra crushed a pearl into a glass of wine to prove to Marc Anthony that she could give the most expensive dinner in history. 

The rose cut diamond dates back to the early 1500s. The stones resemble the petals of a rose by trying to imitate the narrowing spiral of the petals: hence the name:rose cut diamond. In general they are flat at the bottom, which creates a larger surface area for the stone's brilliance.
