ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

How romantic! Scrolls and sprigs, all twinkling with rose-cut diamonds, are artfully arranged to create this delightful openwork pendant/brooch. Embellished by a trio of diamond dangles—the center one is a pear-shaped rose cut—it suspends from a 17 inch platinum chain, cinched by a single bezel-set diamond. This rare and ravishing antique jewel, of interesting providence (the long-vanished Austro-Hungarian Empire), requires some wearer participation; it comes with a brooch pin and a tool for attaching and detaching it. When not gracing your neckline or adding sparkle to your lapel, hat, or scarf, the captivating confection can rest between wearings in its accompanying box. Total diamond weight, 4.25 carats. Hand fabricated in silver over 14K gold, circa 1872-1922.

About Vintage Jewelry

Like fine wine, fine jewelry also has a “vintage”—the design period or era from which it hails. Victorian or Edwardian, Art Deco or Retro, each piece in our collection has its own special pedigree. But just because one era ended and another began, it doesn’t mean that creative jewelry makers simply forgot the lessons of the past! Many of the jewels in our cases refuse to conform to a single design period, either by striking out on their own or showing the transition from one era to the next. When such daring dazzlers are over one hundred years old, they’re generally grouped in the antique category. Anything younger than that, but still made before 1970, fits the vintage label. Every iconic era yields both singular and transitional pieces, like the ones we’ve assembled here. Follow the link at the end of each section for more about the aesthetics and history of the period.

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.
