INQUIRE ABOUT THIS ITEM

ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

The venerable American jeweler, J.E. Caldwell, was renowned for his extraordinary Art Nouveau and Art Deco jewels and here we have a rare Edwardian masterpiece, a sumptuous and spectacularly sparkling pendant/brooch that is exemplary of his extraordinary designs. At its center, a stunning 44.50 carat lozenge-shaped cerulean blue aquamarine (about as fine as they come) gleams like sun-kissed waters against an intricately worked 'canvas' of scrolls, graceful vines, and sweeping swags that effervesce with a breathtaking array of European and single-cut diamonds, while bezel-set drops and trefoil dangles--dazzling with diamonds--add light-flashing motion. As is fitting, this utterly captivating confection suspends from an exquisite platinum diamond chain that adjusts from 16 to 18 inches. Astonishing. Total diamond weight, 18.55 carats. Hand fabricated in platinum over 18K gold, circa 1900.

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.
