ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Measuring over 2 inches wide and suspended from a 32-inch chain, this exotic amulet--designed and crafted by Ateliero* for luxury jeweler, Carrera y Carrera, est. Madrid, Spain 1885--is a work of wearable modern art. The large scale, artfully sculpted circular pendant shimmers in the center with an entrancing mother-of-pearl intricately and substantially framed in rich 18K yellow gold with an all around gallery composed of graduated rosettes. The back of the pendant and clasp are boldly signed and numbered. *Ateliero designed and developed the Ruedo collection using gold and pink diamonds. Inspired by the world of tauromachy, Ruedo, the Spanish word for bullfighting ring, finds inspiration from the arena’s contrast between the wealth of detail in bullfighter suits and the light, organic aspect of the sand, and borrows from the ornaments and motifs of the fiesta to represent the strength and folklore of this Spanish tradition.

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.

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.
