ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Thirty patinated silver amphorae, dotted with daisies and featuring turquoise cabochons in a wide array of blues and greens, form this enchanting late-nineteenth century Austro-Hungarian fringe necklace. The amphora links measure 1 inch long by 1/2 inches wide, necklace measures 17 inches long. The hallmarks tell us this lovely necklace was made of 800 silver in Pest, Hungary between 1872 and 1922, and to our eyes it looks circa 1890.

About Victorian Jewelry

The eclectic Victorians didn’t limit themselves when it came to motifs and themes—if it struck their fancy, they turned it into jewelry. Sweet and sentimental with a distinct romantic streak, Victorian gems expanded upon their Georgian predecessors. The array of styles that blossomed (sometimes quite literally) during this era endure to this day.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
