ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Imagine yourself living during the 1920s-30s and attending a swanky affair, dressed to the nines, and adorned with stunning jewels. This scene was real for the woman who wore this necklace, and it can be real for you in the 21st century. Opals (and exceptional ones at that), the gem that ancient Arabic legend believes falls from the heavens in flashes of lightning, take center stage in this breathtaking jewel. The focal point is a 9.00 carat oval cabochon black opal surrounded by a dazzling halo of diamonds and embellished with a lively fringe of diamonds. This glorious composition of color and sparkle is joined to complementary diamond-encircled opals by way of stylized hearts, glittering with diamonds, each centered by a larger stone. All together, they connect to an exquisite flat chain of long diamond-set and short rectangular links. The opals, with their dark body hue and iridescent neon play-of-color, do indeed create a lightening storm at your neckline. A truly extraordinary, rare and ravishing original Jazz Age jewel. Total diamond weight - 10.85 carats, total opal weight - 13.00 carats. Hand crafted in platinum (clasp tongue is 18K white gold), it measures 17 1/2 inches.

About Art Deco Jewelry

Sleek and modern, Art Deco design brought jewelry into the machine age. Yet these stylish pieces still found room for the fine forms and lines of previous eras within their elegant architecture. In particular, we see many peaceful co-habitations of Edwardian and Art Deco styles together.

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.
