ABOUT THIS BROOCH

There is a low-key side to late-Victorian/Edwardian era jewelry (dating back to the first decade of the twentieth century), as this delightfully understated stickpin ever so subtly displays. Rife with rich meaning, circles can symbolize eternity or, in the case of connected circles—a commitment to another. The two that top this pin are set with glinting rose-cut diamonds and glimmering cherry-red synthetic* rubies and will make a subtle, yet powerful, statement wherever you choose to pin it. Hand fabricated in platinum over 18K gold. *Back in the day, due to their uniformity of color and flawless clarity, synthetic rubies were considered a modern improvement over their natural counterparts, besides the fact that the virtually undetectable differences are only discernible with a microscope.

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.
