ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

An enchanting wreath of lovely leaves--and two sweet flowers--twinkle prettily with bright European-cut and Swiss-cut diamonds all around a shimmering free-form freshwater pearl crowned by diamond-set leaves and one that curves along its bottom. The captivating confection suspends from an original 16-inch chain punctuated by navette-shaped stations that sparkle with bright icy-white European-cut diamonds by way of a bail that shines with a trio of diamonds. Edwardian elegance extraordinaire, dating back to the first or second decade of the twentieth century. Total diamond weight, 3.55 carats. Hand fabricated in platinum. Bonus! This marvelous jewel is from the estate of a renowned A-list Hollywood actor (only to be revealed upon purchase ;).

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.
