In the 1700's, Paris became the main

In the 1700's, Paris became the main producer of fake pearls. Most fake jewelry originated in Paris after 1734 due to the works of Georges Strass who discovered a compound of glass, lead oxide and potash. After 1760, the honor proceeded to England where steel was used for gem settings. Cameos were also produced by using glass and Wedgwood porcelain paste.

When Napoleon became Emperor of France in 1804, the revival of ostentatious display of jewels and elevated fashion sense evolved. Thus began the era of neo-classical style. Napoleon's family had all of the royal family gems reset in this design. He also created the popularity of cameos after he had his coronation crown set with them.

In 1837 when Queen Victoria came to the throne, jewelry was most romantic. Until that time, most jewelry was made in Europe but began to be made in America and Australia. This was also the era when Tiffany began to manufacturer jewelry in American and opened shops in important European cities.

There have been many phases of jewelry as is noted above. Some that follow are Arts and Crafts and the Art Nouveau styles.
