ABOUT THIS BROOCH

Remember how, in your elementary school art class, you used to press fall leaves to preserve their beauty? We have the loveliest of leaves for you already perfectly preserved (no wax paper necessary) for all time. This exquisite highly stylized maple leaf, hand fabricated in in 14 karat yellow gold and trimmed in luminous seed pearls, is overlaid with smooth and lustrous enamel in watercolor-like hues of deep pink, lemon yellow and soft light blue with intricate veining. As leaves do, this one likes to flutter about and can be worn as a brooch or as a pendant. A unique beauty. Early 1900's. Measures 1 1/4 x 1 5/8 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.
