ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

While layers of chain necklaces are quite lovely and chic, nothing adds drama to your neck like a choker. From those worn by ballerinas in Edgar Degas's paintings to Queen Victoria to the pop stars of the 1990s, chokers have both an elegance and an edgy sauciness that, worn so closely around the neck, create a striking 'pedestal' for your face. This Art Nouveau creation is an exquisite art piece that glows with links of lavender cabochon amethysts framed by gleaming, hand-engraved gold vines accented with natural freeform pearls, all connected via chains dotted with seed pearls. Stunning! Total amethyst weight, 72.00 carats. Hand fabricated, it measures 13 1/2 inches.

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.
