ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

Installation specialists at fine museums take great care when hanging masterpieces. Fortunately for you, it will take little effort to hang this horological masterpiece by Longines around your neck. Suspended from a shimmering 26-inch rope chain, this keeper of time is crafted with exquisite details, even its face appears to be 'carved' with a lush scroll design. The reverse is decorated with a visually intriguing guilloche engraved design overlaid by cool steel gray transparent enamel, and is embellished with twinkling rose cut diamonds, curvilinear shapes, and a lovely gold floral motif. The finishing--and highly distinctive--flourish? An enamel-accented 'fan' element (formerly a pin) from which the watch dangles. An extraordinary early-20th century (1905) treasure. Hand fabricated in 18K gold (watch and crown), chain is 14K gold. Swiss, features a 17-jewel movement.

We like to think of our vintage and antique timepieces as examples of fine jewelry art, all of which are serviced prior to sale. Unless otherwise noted, the movement of each piece will be in working order when the watch leaves our store. However, due to the delicate nature of these timepieces, there is no further warranty on the movement or any other mechanical parts.

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.
