ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

A captivating confection by way of Austria-Hungary, 1870. Finely hand fabricated in 14K gold, this 19th-century necklace is designed with sweeping swags accented with cornflower-blue sapphires, delightful elements set with pink topaz, tiny dangling freshwater pearls, and sparkling paste.* Centering this fetching work of bejeweled festoons is a crescent glimmering with rose cut diamonds (plus one single cut) that curves around a scrolled element punctuated with a single glass stone, while a dainty glass-topped pearl drop dangles below. A rare and ravishing Victorian era jewel. Total colored gemstone weight, 2.00 carats. Measures 17 inches. *Using paste (glass) was a common practice during this era in which diamonds were very rare.

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.
