ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

This arty double sided amulet, dating back to the latter-19th century, features a striking ornate design centered with a bright turquoise intricately adorned all around with black and white Swiss enamel and accented with four lustrous half pearls. The 2 1/2-inch-long pendant (including matching chain links) is finely hand fabricated in 16K yellow gold (mostly likely from Switzerland) and suspends from a lithe 30-inch-long 9ct. chain (hence of British origin). A wonderful one-of-a-kind antique necklace.

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.
