ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Recognizable by its bold use of bright stones, ornate metalwork, and vibrant enamel accents, Austro-Hungarian jewelry is always a fascinating treat for the eyes and, in this case, for your neckline. The captivating and fanciful focal piece centers on a large faceted deep wine-red garnet set amidst a star-like white enamel design, interspersed with garnets and intricately decorated with pink and black fleurs-de-lys, and various flourishes. Enameled scrolls, leaves, and yet more garnets complete the alluring assemblage, which connects to a complementary chain of garnets, each glimmering in equally enchanting settings. For a finishing detail--and a bit of motion--a teardrop-shaped garnet dances below. Crafted in silver, circa the latter-19th century. The chain measures 14 1/2 inches, total length is 16 3/4 including the 2 1/4-inch-wide centerpiece.

About Victorian Jewelry

The eclectic Victorians didn’t limit themselves when it came to motifs and themes—if it struck their fancy, they turned it into jewelry. Sweet and sentimental with a distinct romantic streak, Victorian gems expanded upon their Georgian predecessors. The array of styles that blossomed (sometimes quite literally) during this era endure to this day.

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.
