A gorgeous galaxy of electric color, the focal piece of this intriguing turn-of-the-century pendant mesmerizes with a marvelous 2.25 carat cabochon opal that glows with iridescent hues of neon green, bright ultra-violet blue and flecks of fiery pinkish-orange. The riotous stone is orbited by glimmering round demantoid garnets and sapphires that punctuate overlapping arcs of luminous 15K rosy-yellow gold (hence very likely of British origin). Milgrain edging adds subtle textured detail. Total garnet and sapphire weight, .55 carat. Hand fabricated, circa 1900. Chain measures 18 inches. Condition note: Opal exhibits minor crazing. Opals have a significant water content relative to other gemstones. When exposed to high or very low temperatures, or to low humidity, crazing--fine fissures caused by water loss--can occur. To preserve this beautiful stone, avoid exposure to extreme temperatures and to low humidity (such as safe deposit boxes). Store in a soft fabric pouch.

About Vintage Jewelry
Like fine wine, fine jewelry also has a “vintage”—the design period or era from which it hails. Victorian or Edwardian, Art Deco or Retro, each piece in our collection has its own special pedigree. But just because one era ended and another began, it doesn’t mean that creative jewelry makers simply forgot the lessons of the past! Many of the jewels in our cases refuse to conform to a single design period, either by striking out on their own or showing the transition from one era to the next. When such daring dazzlers are over one hundred years old, they’re generally grouped in the antique category. Anything younger than that, but still made before 1970, fits the vintage label. Every iconic era yields both singular and transitional pieces, like the ones we’ve assembled here. Follow the link at the end of each section for more about the aesthetics and history of the period.
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.
