ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Rich turquoise enamel, soft white pearls, and delicately detailed 14 karat overlaid in rich high-carat yellow gold combine to make a stunning showcase for a secret locket in this pristine Etruscan Revival necklace, circa 1875. Like a Victorian layered cake, two tiers of granulated gold support a starburst of natural seed pearls, nestled within deeply saturated turquoise enamel. A fine, tapered fringe sways below, with a stylized bow at the top. A beautiful showpiece on its own, with a glass-covered locket compartment at the back. Suspended on a 16 3/4 inch heavy (original) snake chain. Classic Victoriana. One inch wide, and 3 1/8 inches long (with fringe).

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.
