ABOUT THIS ACCESSORY

Retailed by the renowned, and still extant, San Francisco jeweler, Shreve & Co, this beautiful and exquisitely Italian crafted box is ready to hold tiny treasures, things for practical use, or nothing at all--it stands as a work of art just as it is. Masterfully and thoroughly engraved all around with a lavish lattice and foliate motif, the box is overlaid with an intricate openwork design, revealing black enamel underneath. Hand fabricated in gilded silver and inscribed on the inside with "Noreen from Betsy." When not on display, it rests in its own fitted box.

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.
