ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

The noble visage of the Nordic goddess, Valkyrie, and shieldmaiden, Brunhilde, is artfully captured in high relief in this wonderful round locket, crafted in 10K yellow gold at beginning of the last century. Inscribed inside - ' From May to Mother August 15, 1911 Anniversary', along with a tiny seed pearl set inside. Not a myth, this locket is real! Just over 1 1/4 inches in diameter. The new chain measures 18 inches.

About Art Nouveau Jewelry

Looking to go organic? Bummed out (with good reason) by the Industrial Revolution, Art Nouveau makers embraced the natural world and a return to the hand-craftsmanship of an earlier time. Their overlap with both the Victorian and Edwardian eras resulted in a great deal of cross-pollination. Though relatively short in its purest form, Art Nouveau’s flowing lines continued to weave their way into fine jewelry.

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.
