Art Deco (1915-1935) Mimetite Flower Necklace 【Graduation Gift】

Mimetite jewelry has been crafted since the ancient Greek era and was popular in Europe during the reign of Louis XIV. However, it wasn't until the Victorian era (1837-1901) when Queen Victoria herself wore it that designers began to frequently incorporate mimetite. In the 18th century, when Switzerland prohibited the public display of diamonds, mimetite, along with cut steel, emerged as an alternative. After Prince Albert's death in 1861, Queen Victoria entered a period of mourning, requiring the entire court to wear black and avoid ostentatious jewelry. Mimetite became popular as an understated alternative for the aristocracy. Mimetite carries its own historical significance. After all, this lustrous gemstone has adorned numerous royals, from Cleopatra to Queen Victoria. Mimetite jewelry, with its subtle beauty, is a must-have addition to any collection. Emotionally, mimetite is believed to shield you from negativity, encourage introspection, boost self-confidence, reduce weariness, and inspire artistic creativity.
