ABOUT THIS BROOCH

There are over 350 species of turtles and we have some of the prettiest ones here at Lang--including this bejeweled beauty. Sitting pretty, its shell glistens and glows with a geometric array of half-moon, calibre, and novelty-shaped deep sea-blue synthetic* sapphires held by striking gold prongs. And while they might not carry him along swiftly, his feet, along with his head and tail, shimmer and shine with lively table cut diamonds. A stripe of synthetic sapphires atop his head and bright synthetic* ruby eyes are distinctive characteristics of this rare and wonderful species that measures 2 1/4 inches from nose to tail. Total diamond weight, 1.15 carats. Hand fabricated in 18K gold, diamonds set in platinum. *Back in the day, because of their color consistency and flawless clarity, synthetic sapphires and rubies were considered a modern improvement over their natural counterparts, their virtually undetectable differences discernible only with a microscope.

About Estate Jewelry

Though it calls to mind grand manor houses in the English countryside, “estate” is just a fancy way of describing any piece of jewelry with a previous owner. That’s pretty much everything in our collection. We tend to use “estate” to refer to pieces in our collection with a more modern or contemporary design, or vintage-inspired designs. These perennial gems are selected in harmony with our original antique and vintage pieces…they’re just a little bit younger!

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.
