INQUIRE ABOUT THIS ITEM

ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Fascinating. This subtle--yet stunning--early 20th century amulet enchants with a 21.01 carat smoky quartz briollette, embellished by nature with gleaming golden 'needles' (also known as rutile) that cross the gem on the diagonal. Adorned with a hand-engraved fluted cap that glimmers with rose-cut diamonds, the alluring assemblage suspends from an 18-inch darkened silver chain. Hand fabricated in silver and 18K gold.

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.
