Flora Bejeweled: Horticulture, Jewelry and the Victorian Language of Flowers
The 19th century marked a great age of horticultural interest within Victorian society, through botanical expeditions that brought plants from all over the British empire, to the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew where they were they were studied and admired by the public and professionals alike, and via nurseries that sold cultivars for display in the Victorian home. During this time, floral jewelry enjoyed immense popularity in England. Significantly, it was connected to a highly sophisticated language of flowers whereby sentiments were expressed through floral arrangements – thus, floral jewelry was given and worn as tokens of love and friendship. This talk explores the fascinating relationship between botany, fashion and etiquette and their influence on 19th-century floral jewelry design in England, which transformed the expression of human emotion into jeweled bouquets.
