#GeorgianJewelry Aigrettes were worn in the hair and most were mounted en tremblant, meaning “to tremble”. The stones are connected to something that acts like a spring to create movement. This diamond one has blue enamel in the shafts of the diamond feathers.

#GeorgianJewelry Aigrettes don't have to just be diamonds. This c 1810 one held by the V&A has diamonds, turquoises, an emerald, and other colored stones.

#GeorgianJewelry This early 19th century diamond aigrette is designed as a posy of flowers, grasses and a peacock feather tied by a ribbon. It's mounted en tremblant, which means it's mounted so it trembles slightly as the wearer turns their head.

#GeorgianJewelry An aigrette gets its name because it resembles the feathers and plumes on top of the head of an egret. This one c mid 18th century has been converted to a brooch. It's chrysoberyls in the form of a spray of four feathers bound together by a ribbon.

#GeorgianJewelry C1780 locket in the shape of a heart with a garnet a bow. I'm not sure if this is glass or rock crystal. The heart represents love, the bow eternity and loyalty. What Austen lady is this perfect for?

#GeorgianJewelry Late Georgian/early Victorian double sided glass locket. This piece is likely gold filled, so a base metal like brass with a thick layer of gold alloy on top. What Austen lady is wearing this simple piece?
