ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Pure opulence. This glorious Edwardian-era pendant is lavishly designed with a profusion of pretty details. Dangling from a pair of glittering single-cut diamonds and topped by a diamond-dusted bow, a large and luminous flat-back blister pearl drop, with a soft shimmering iridescence, is framed by a graceful wreath set with tiny diamonds and punctuated by five ultra-sparking European cut diamonds. The magnificent and alluring assemblage is crowned by an exquisite diamond bow centered by a single European-cut diamond, bringing the total weight of the six stones to 4.85 carats. As is befitting, it suspends from an elegant platinum chain with spectacle-set diamonds by way of a (new) navette-shaped bail that shines with a trio of diamonds. Milgrain edging throughout adds the finishing touch. A truly ravishing, remarkable, and resplendent jewel. Total diamond weight for the piece, including the chain, 8.10 carats. Hand fabricated in platinum over 18K yellow gold. Platinum chain measures 16 inches.

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.
