There was a sharp divide between the people from the towns and those from rural areas. The railroad brought about a huge change in the quality of life as a whole especially among the poorer people from the villages. A show of wealth, while wearing clothes of fashion, became the order of the day. Victorian jewelry became popular. Women started showing interest in wearing bracelets, rings, necklaces and watches with chains among other jewelry. These jewelry items were set with real or imitation jewels. Popular jewels were topaz, emerald, ruby and amethyst. In 1870 South Africa opened its diamond mines. This was an event of great import. Over night the accent of the stones in engagement rings, bracelets and necklaces shifted to diamonds, the girl’s best friend!
