ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Carving jade is no small feat. Traditional methods involve using bone, bamboo, stone instruments and sand, while the modern process, because of the stone's hardness, requires diamond cutting tools. Whatever the technique used to create this necklace, the results are undeniable beautiful. The rectangular plaque, carved with a lush foliate motif that creates a cool random negative space design, suspends from a round jade that connects to a fancy bar link chain punctuated with light green jade beads accented with tiny seed pearls. You'll want to carve out some space in your jewel box for this one. Hand fabricated with 18K gold, chain measures 17 inches. Circa 1930s.

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.
