ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

42 multi-chromatic opal beads, ranging in size from 6.5 to 13.15 millimeters, alternate with faceted quartz crystal roundels to create this sublime 19-inch strand, secured in the back with a sparkling .90 carat European-cut diamond set in an antique platinum clasp. The gorgeous opals display an enchanting palette of cool pastel colors glinting with fiery highlights. A truly rare and ravishing necklace. We acquired this necklace along with a smaller strand (our #90-1-6360) just in case you’d care to keep the happy family intact.

About Edwardian Jewelry

Edwardians took the dark beauty of Victorian jewelry and dyed it platinum blonde. Light and airy filigree, worked with intricate millegrain and detailed designs in that durable metal, was liberally set with the “white” stones—pearls and diamonds chief among them. The Victorians’ sense of whimsy and beloved yellow gold didn’t disappear completely, though, even as the Edwardian era made way for the further-streamlined Art Deco.

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.
