ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

This truly extraordinary necklace is one of the finest examples of Edwardian jewelry artistry we've seen in a while. A diminutive, and beautifully decorated platinum and diamond ladies pendant watch is magnificently framed, and swings freely, inside a dazzling diamond wreath. The watch and wreath seamlessly transitions into a delicate, asymmetrical basket of flowers which, in turn, is held by a classic Edwardian bow knot. The elaborate four section pendant is suspended from an original 22 inch diamond neckchain. The pendant portion alone measures 3 inches in length and 1 1/2 inches in diameter. All original, all in platinum, a magnificent museum quality piece from the first decades of the twentieth century. A. Lechot, Geneva, 18 jewel movement # 5918. However, please note that the watch is not guaranteed, this is more of a piece of jewelry than a watch.

About Edwardian Jewelry

Edwardians took the dark beauty of Victorian jewelry and dyed it platinum blonde. Light and airy filigree, worked with intricate millegrain and detailed designs in that durable metal, was liberally set with the “white” stones—pearls and diamonds chief among them. The Victorians’ sense of whimsy and beloved yellow gold didn’t disappear completely, though, even as the Edwardian era made way for the further-streamlined Art Deco.

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.
