ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

We've seen our fair share of antique jewelry over the decades and this is the first necklace of this type we've ever run across. Alternating amethyst and moonstone briolettes, with a particularly unusual and distinctive shape, are fancifully capped in richly colored 14 karat gold (which look and feel all of 18K). The seven gemstones suspend from a gorgeous matching 17 inch necklace comprised of fancy, elegantly sculpted links. A unique and ravishing Victorian treasure, circa 1865.

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.
