ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

These dramatic and distinctively different drop earrings present matching pairs of enchanting opals --large pear shapes below and smaller rounds above--in an intriguing blend of Victorian and Art Deco styles. Imbued with a kaleidoscopic profusion of electric pastel rainbow colors, both pairs of gemstones are enveloped in 14K yellow gold frames artfully adorned all around with black enamel accented with shaded green and burnt orange. These uniquely stunning ear drops date back to the first or second decade of the twentieth century and measure 1 1/2 inches long.

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.
