ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Although it's difficult to compete with the exquisite beauty of a naturally formed pearl, Edwardian jewelers were masters of enhancing the luminous sea gems with diamonds and such. This pendant features a beautifully shaped freshwater pearl, embellished above with graceful scrolls glittering with old mine-, European- and Swiss-cut diamonds. Supported on the reverse by curving gold vines with a fluted finish, the pendant (formerly a brooch) dangles below a fancy diamond-set element that connects to a new 18-inch chain. A unique and captivating piece that adds Edwardian elan to both formal and non-fussy ensembles. Total diamond weight: .50 carat. Hand fabricated in platinum over 14K gold, circa 1910.

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.
