ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

In the Edwardian era, when dress necklines were lowered and expanses of skin were begging to be decorated, festoon (or swag) necklaces were all the rage. Queen Alexandra, King Edward's wife, wore multiple-strand pearl chokers to cover a scar, often along with a festoon necklace (layering goes way back!). This captivating composition of color, sparkle, and luster presents a focal piece featuring an oval light blue turquoise cabochon, with a hint of green, surrounded by a fancy frame set with twinkling rose-cut diamonds and a single natural pearl. All around it, swags of pearl-dotted platinum chain are accented with oval and round turquoise cabochons, while four pear-shaped drops add lovely motion. Your neckline is waiting. Total diamond weight, .30 carat. Hand fabricated, circa 1890-1900, it measures 15 3/4 inches (including the length of the chain and the width of the centerpiece).

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.
