ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Turning away from machine-produced jewelry, the Arts & Crafts movement--often influenced by the aesthetic of the Far East--focused on the artistry of handmade pieces rather than the intrinsic value, and this jewel is exemplary of that philosophy. Topped by a design evocative of a pagoda, the elegant openwork pendant, measuring a striking 3 inches long, is adorned with a single sparkling European-cut diamond, luminous natural and cultured pearls, and tiny diamond-shaped dangles set with bright blue sapphires. The light and lovely assemblage is embellished below with an elongated teardrop dotted with pearls and one sapphire. Exquisite. Circa 1900. Hand fabricated in 10K gold. The 14K gold chain measures 16 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.
