[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9751374, member: 2844"]I think people get confused with the dating because they don't realise that regional jewellery often lags a few decades behind fashionable jewellery.:) Most British consider the period from 1714 until the reign of Victoria, starting in 1837, to be Georgian. British period terminology can be confusing. Whereas we in Belgium and the Netherlands tend to divide periods into half or quarter centuries, making things clear without delving into the chronology of rulers, they have a less precise terminology based on royal reigns. They do skip the occasional royal though, because the last George died in 1830, after the Georges came William IV, who reigned for seven years.;)[/QUOTE]
