ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

Reaching back a bit, a jeweler during the 1940s created this lavishly sparkling puffed heart pendant/brooch in the iconic, lacy white-on-white Edwardian style. Here, Cupid's object of attention is an elegant openwork composition featuring a fleur-de-lys and graceful scrolls, set with an array of bright round diamonds: old mine, European, single, and round brilliant cuts. Six cultured pearls add a lustrous glow, while millegrain edging adds subtle texture to this Retro art piece, suspended from a 17 3/4-inch 14K white gold rolo chain by way of a diamond-accented bail. Total diamond weight, 2.00 carats. Hand fabricated in platinum over 14K white gold (top diamond), 14K white gold (back clip), 14K yellow gold (heart base), and 18K white gold (heart top).

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.
