ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

In the often fantastical motifs of Art Nouveau jewelry, now and then, a cupid appears. This one, set against a backdrop of glorious lake-blue, translucent plique-à-jour enamel, is striding purposefully towards his next mission with a garland of lush roses in hand. The ardent ambassador of love is surrounded by an exquisite hand-engraved frame of flowers and leaves—with a crescent of rose-cut diamonds glittering below—and suspends from a 20-inch adjustable chain, cinched by a single bright single-cut diamond. Adding a bit of motion and extra sparkle, a European cut diamond, 'floating' in a sleek circle, dangles beneath. Fanciful and fabulous. Hand fabricated in platinum over 18K gold - circa 1900. Total diamond weight, .75 carat.

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.
