ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

When you have the body, tail, and back legs of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle, and an eagle's talons for front feet, you need to move around a bit. So, these griffins—finely handcrafted and engraved in 18K gold—made their move from a pair of Art Nouveau cuff links to a pair of chic, super cool earrings. They connect to sleek ear wires by way of sculptural leafy vines (yet another former pair of cuff links—we're so clever!), and now they can swing about freely at your lobes. Circa 1890-1900. Note: Due to their former incarnation as cuff link, they are not a left and right pair (both griffins face the same way).

About Art Nouveau Jewelry

Looking to go organic? Bummed out (with good reason) by the Industrial Revolution, Art Nouveau makers embraced the natural world and a return to the hand-craftsmanship of an earlier time. Their overlap with both the Victorian and Edwardian eras resulted in a great deal of cross-pollination. Though relatively short in its purest form, Art Nouveau’s flowing lines continued to weave their way into fine jewelry.

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.
