ABOUT THIS RING

Surrounded by a halo of brightly sparkling white old mine-cut diamonds (.85 carat total weight), a gorgeous gleaming natural pink Conch* pearl spins on a north/south axis, fully displaying its lovely hue from all sides. This delightful Edwardian-era creation is hand fabricated in platinum over 14K gold and crowns a newer 14 karat white gold base and shank. The edges of the scalloped border and the center bezel setting are accented with fine hand-engraved milgraining, adding the final subtle detail to this early 20th century beauty. *Conch pearls are a very rare natural pearl from the Queen Conch and exhibit a characteristic flame structure on the surface of the gem. This gorgeous specimen is a pretty bright soft pink 'angel skin' color. Viennese hallmarks (a rare pedigree). Currently ring size 5.

About Edwardian Jewelry

Edwardians took the dark beauty of Victorian jewelry and dyed it platinum blonde. Light and airy filigree, worked with intricate millegrain and detailed designs in that durable metal, was liberally set with the “white” stones—pearls and diamonds chief among them. The Victorians’ sense of whimsy and beloved yellow gold didn’t disappear completely, though, even as the Edwardian era made way for the further-streamlined Art Deco.

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.
