ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

Cooler than cool, this Omega pocket watch from Switzerland is stylish and versatile. Crafted in silver with dark gunmetal-colored inlays, a complicated process known as niello, both sides show a pair of birds flying among flowers and dragonflies (?). Fitted with a 14K rose gold case, the front opens to display the watch, while opening the reverse reveals a smooth surface engraved with, "Omega, Grand Prix Paris 1900." This most excellent timepiece connects to a 60-inch watch chain of textured silver and rose-colored metal links.

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.
