ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

A gemmy pair of vibrant, translucent green jade button studs (some might say Imperial (and better than a photo can reproduce)), measuring just a tad shy of 8 millimeters (about 5/16 inch), can be worn alone or with the accompanying pair of swinging jade drops (high-quality and perfectly matched, but not quite as fine as the buttons). Just shy of 1 1/4 inches long, circa mid-twentieth century. The earrings are accompanied by a gemological report from Stone Group Labs stating: Natural. No indications of polymers or dyes. It is the opinion of this lab that the country of origin is Myanmar (Burma).

About Mid-Century Jewelry

Mid-Century jewelers gave the Victorians a run for their money when it came to variety—with the added bonus of big, bold gems in every shape, size, and color. Themes of previous eras were made fabulous enough to match the optimism of the post-war world. Transitional pieces bridged the gap between the first and second half of the 20th century.

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.
