ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

Bare necklines are so sad. They beg for a bit of swag, some sassy motion, or fancy flourishes. Just for you, and your lonely neckline, we present this splendid early Victorian pendant/brooch. Halo upon halo of luminous seed pearls surround a luscious berry-hued oval garnet, crowned with an ornamented crescent embellished with twisted wire and small gold balls. Accented with a finial east and west and swags of foxtail chain below, the jewel also has lively motion courtesy of three pear-shaped garnet drops, each accented with a gold dangle. Perfect for banishing bare necks. Total garnet weight, 6.00 carats. Hand fabricated in 18K yellow gold, circa the mid-19th century, it suspends from an 18-inch chain. Can also be worn as a brooch.

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.
