ABOUT THIS WATCH

Few Belle Époque (aka Edwardian-era) pendant/lapel watches come as fine as this exquisite exemplar of turn-of-the-century French jewelry artistry. A rose-cut diamond centered star is the focal point of the rich cornflower blue guilloche enamel case rendered in a silky shimmering moiré pattern. Masterfully hand fabricated in platinum over 18K gold, the watch, bail, and matching lapel pin are outlined with tiny twinkling rose-cut diamonds. The watch easily slips off the lapel pin to be worn as a pendant necklace on the original period platinum and diamond hand made filigree chain. Breathtaking in all respects.

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.
