ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

This celestial sparkler by way of late Victorian England, circa 1885, is packed to the hilt with a glittering array of bright, high-color, old mine-cut diamonds, totaling over 2.50 carats. Masterfully rendered in platinum over 15K gold, the six rays are interspersed with as many scalloped crescents embracing individual prong-set diamonds. At 1 1/4 inches, this consummate antique jewel punches above its weight and size in terms of sparkle wattage. A removable pin back and flip-up loop allows it to be worn as both a pendant or brooch.

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.
