ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Pretty and petite, the front of this charming Edwardian locket is designed with a guilloche engraved pattern--creating a fascinating optical effect--and is overlaid with gleaming dusky turquoise blue enamel. It opens to hold your tiniest photo (or other memento) and suspends from a complementing chain. Engraved on the reverse with, "Patricia," the necklace, measuring 14 1/4 inches, is for a smaller neck or makes a lovely "first" necklace for a little lady. Crafted in 14K gold, circa early-20th-century.

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.
