ABOUT THIS BROOCH

This light and lovely Edwardian natural pearl and diamond bow brooch is classically delicate as well as intricately and realistically crafted as you would expect from the Edwardian era. The brooch features rows of graduated pearls, which adds to its dimensional quality, and glistens in its entirety with tiny rose and single-cut diamonds. It is finely crafted in the early Edwardian method of using platinum over 18 karat gold, and atypically, the gold has been incorporated as a design element and can be seen facing front under the natural pearls. The brooch bears hallmarks of European origin.

About Edwardian Jewelry

Edwardians took the dark beauty of Victorian jewelry and dyed it platinum blonde. Light and airy filigree, worked with intricate millegrain and detailed designs in that durable metal, was liberally set with the “white” stones—pearls and diamonds chief among them. The Victorians’ sense of whimsy and beloved yellow gold didn’t disappear completely, though, even as the Edwardian era made way for the further-streamlined Art Deco.

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.
