You have a strand of pearls, a diamond riviere, and, no doubt, your fair share of chains. But, have you considered a necklace of thorns (thorny branches that is)? If not, may we present this wild and wonderful Brutalist creation. Emerging in the 1950s, this style of architecture—which also translated to jewelry—eschewed light and clean lines in favor of geometric shapes, seemingly random arrangements, and jagged bark and nugget-like elements. This piece conveys the organic beauty of thorns, casting them in 18K gold with a shimmering hand-engraved textured finish, that enwrap 28 sparkling, intensely vivid apple-green round and oval peridots. After all, every collection needs a singular, jaw-dropping jewel. Total peridot weight, 65.00 carats. Measures 18 1/2 inches.

About Vintage Jewelry
Like fine wine, fine jewelry also has a “vintage”—the design period or era from which it hails. Victorian or Edwardian, Art Deco or Retro, each piece in our collection has its own special pedigree. But just because one era ended and another began, it doesn’t mean that creative jewelry makers simply forgot the lessons of the past! Many of the jewels in our cases refuse to conform to a single design period, either by striking out on their own or showing the transition from one era to the next. When such daring dazzlers are over one hundred years old, they’re generally grouped in the antique category. Anything younger than that, but still made before 1970, fits the vintage label. Every iconic era yields both singular and transitional pieces, like the ones we’ve assembled here. Follow the link at the end of each section for more about the aesthetics and history of the period.
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.
