ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

Ring a bell--you've earned your wings, and they're sparkling with diamonds and rubies! Utterly enchanting, this Edwardian-era pendant/brooch is elegantly fashioned as a pair of graceful 'angel' wings --shining with 146 diamonds and accented with deep rose-red calibre rubies--that spread out from a lovely vine-like diamond-set centerpiece. For a final--and glorious--flourish, a dazzling 1.40 carat pear-shaped diamond, topped by a sprig of leaves twinkling with diamonds, dangles below. Sublime. Total diamond weight - 4.50 carats, total ruby weight - 2.00 carats. Hand fabricated in platinum during the first or second decade of the twentieth century; rubies set in 18K yellow gold. Chain measures 18 inches, total length (with width of pendant), 21 inches. Condition note: some diamonds and rubies show wear commensurate with age of necklace. The brooch pin is removable. *Bonus! From the estate of a renowned A-list Hollywood actor of the same period (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.
