INQUIRE ABOUT THIS ITEM

ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

There's nothing even remotely depressing about this Depression-era delight (circa 1930) starring a pair of center-pierced frosted rock quartz crystal plaques: the larger with a bright-white sparkler, the smaller with a scissor-cut synthetic* sapphire, each hand carved on the reverse with a radiant sunburst pattern. The shimmering translucent pendants suspend from a fanciful filigree-link necklace measuring 16 inches, while, together, the double pendants measure 2 1/2 inches long. Die-14K white gold. *Back in the day, circa 1920s-30s, due to their uniformity of color and flawless clarity, synthetic sapphires were considered a modern improvement over their natural counterparts, their virtually undetectable differences discernible only with a microscope.

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.
