ABOUT THIS BROOCH

Like a beautifully woven piece of fine lace, this delightfully dainty Edwardian-era brooch (dating back to the first or second decade of the twentieth century) is a light and airy work of small leaves and flowers glittering with bright single-cut diamonds that scintillate all around a glimmering .71 carat teal blue sapphire. Hand-fabricated in platinum, it will make a very pretty showing wherever you choose to pin it. Total diamond weight, .70 carat. Digital report available stating: No heat. *Cambodia - origin. *In the world of sapphires, those closest in color to Kashmir (the rarest and most coveted) and Burmese (close runner up) originate from Pailin, Cambodia.

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.
