ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

This arresting jewel is a less commonly seen forward-facing cameo, and its classical subject is taking it very seriously. Foregoing a smile, he stares straight head, careful not to muss his exquisitely coiffed and intricately coiled hair. Carved from volcanic lava, the high-relief portrait rests in a bezel and is encircled by a twisted wire frame. Hand-fabricated in 14K gold, it can be worn as a brooch or a pendant. Chain measures 16 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.
