ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

This signature silver leaf necklace and matching bracelet (style 113) by the Great Dane - Georg Jensen. The 17 1/2 inch long necklace also combines with the 7+ inch long bracelet for a (do the math) longer version. Bonus! We include matching (smaller scale) earrings by none other than by *Alphonse LaPaglia/ International Silver.

*Alphonse LaPaglia was a silversmith and designer who made some wonderful pieces during the 1940s and early 1950's. His career was covered in some detail in Silver magazine (May-June 1995). LaPaglia first burst onto the silver scene during WW II by creating pieces for Frederick Lunning at the Georg Jensen store in New York City. The war had cut off supplies of authentic Jensen silver, and Mr. Lunning contracted with a number of American firms to supply the Jensen shop. Many, but not all, of these pieces were created in the Jensen style. LaPaglia continued to make pieces for Jensen USA until about 1949 from his shop in New Jersey. In 1952, LaPaglia became affiliated with the International Silver Company and moved to Meriden, CT. He set up a shop in the rear of his home, and with a handful of assistants became "International Sterling Craft Associates"

About Mid-Century Jewelry

Mid-Century jewelers gave the Victorians a run for their money when it came to variety—with the added bonus of big, bold gems in every shape, size, and color. Themes of previous eras were made fabulous enough to match the optimism of the post-war world. Transitional pieces bridged the gap between the first and second half of the 20th century.

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.
