ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

From our Antique Jewelry University, an observation of Pliny the Elder: ... Pliny described a sculpted marble lion in the tomb of King Hermias on Cyprus overlooking the sea. The lion's eyes were fashioned out of natural emeralds that were so bright they scared away all the fish. The fisherman replaced the eyes with common stones and the fish returned. Although they are surely as equally enthralling as those in the sculpture, the 4.00 carats of gorgeous, glowing, electric green Colombian emeralds (even our high-definition pictures can't capture their vibrant color) in these exquisite earrings do not scare--they captivate. Framed by octagonal halos of glittering modern European cut diamonds, they are crowned with diamond-set stylized bell shapes and suspend from bezel-set European cuts by way of diamond-frosted links. A breathtaking composition of color and light, hand fabricated in platinum in the classic and enduring Art Deco style. Total diamond weight, 1.35 carats.

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.
