ABOUT THIS BROOCH

Not all flies are pesky, and we imagine that you would be quite pleased to have this one, hailing from the 19th century (c. 1840), land on your lapel. With bright green emerald eyes and a lustrous natural free-form natural baroque pearl and deep rose-pink sapphire doublet for a body, this bejeweled insect's wings are aglitter with pink sapphires, rose-cut diamonds, and emeralds, while glossy black enamel adds contrasting detail. You'll be all the buzz. Total diamond weight - .40 carat, total gemstone weight - 1.20 carats. Hand fabricated in 18K gold. Condition note: some emeralds show heavy wear commensurate with the age of the piece. Pearl is accompanied by a GIA report stating: Natural. Saltwater Pinctada.

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.
