1830's jewelry

[madamemodiste]

Besides pearls, can anyone tell me what necklace and earring styles were popular in the 1830's at the hight of the big sleeve movement? I can't really find anything online that gives me any idea. Send me image links, please, if you know of any!

Many thanks!

Long necklaces or watch chains, beaded or chain with large dangly earrings. I think your IFO. Even has some of the big earrings. Dover has a book "romantic era fashion plates" or something like that with lots of pics .

I tried to order that 1830's fashion plate book a few weeks ago, but it was out of stock on Amazon.

What is "IFO"?

I like the long teardrop style earrings and necklaces. I think I just need a better idea how to make them as period correct looking as I can. I just feel like it :D

Sorry, I was typing on my phone! I meant your icon, I think I can see two long earrings hanging down on the sides.

I'll poke around after dinner on iphoto and see if I have any good fashion plates I can post.

Oh! LOL!

Yay! New fashion plates for me to oggle over! Thank you! And very soon I'll need your hair how-to. I'm so excited to make the fake hair combs!
