ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Genuine amber is the fossilized resin from ancient pine trees that mainly grew in the Baltic region around 25-60 million years ago. Buried in the ground for millions of years, it was released into the sea through weathering. How fortuitous that this ancient substance found its way into the hands of a master Belle Époque-era jeweler who created this exquisite piece. Formed as a large pendeloque, the amber has a warm honey hue (lighter than the photo) and is decorated with ribbons and dots of tiny rose-cut diamonds. The pendant's fluted cap also glitters with rose cuts, while a single natural pearl adds a spot of luster to this fascinating jewel—millions of years in the making. Formerly a hatpin (!), it now suspends from a new 18-inch 18K yellow gold chain. From France.

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.
