Evocative of a pair of wings--angel wings we think--the delicately fashioned focal piece of this enchanting transitional late-Victorian/Art Nouveau lavaliere necklace is dotted with lustrous seed pearls and glows at its center with a pear-shaped plum-colored amethyst dangle. Swinging freely below is an elegant openwork drop also shimmering with pearls. The entire confection connects to a 15-inch flattened cable chain, creating an ethereal delight for your neckline. Hand fabricated in 14K gold. Circa 1890-1900. Condition note: amethyst shows some wear commensurate with age of piece.

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.
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.
