ABOUT THIS RING

Some pearls are so breathtakingly beautiful they deserve a crown (or at least a diamond tiara). We have one of those. This 9.47 carat natural freshwater pearl, voluptuous in form, shimmers with an enchanting iridescence and is nestled in an exquisite setting--sparkling with icy white old mine-cut diamonds-- that ascends in crown-like fashion. The intriguing design creates a delightfully ample teardrop of luster and sparkle. A distinctive side gallery fashioned with openwork 'flowers,' and a fluted shank add the finishing flourishes to this singular Edwardian jewel dating back to the first or second decade of the twentieth century. Total diamond weight, .75 carat. Hand fabricated in platinum, the fluted ring shank is currently size 6 3/4. Accompanied by a GIA Pearl Report stating Natural freshwater pearl.

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.
