ABOUT THIS BROOCH

This ravishing reptile is poised to jump! Fortunately, the pin stem is designed to keep him securely in place on your blouse or lapel. Dating back to the first decade of the twentieth century, and packed to the gills with 3.15 carats of bright-white and sparkling European-cut and old mine-cut diamonds, this little fella has eyes set with rich green demantoid garnets all the way from the Ural Mountains of Russia and his nose is an emerald. A great one--and great fun! Hand fabricated in 14K rosy-yellow gold. 1 1/4 by just shy of 1 1/8 inches.

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.
