ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Elegant and iconic, you recognize it immediately—"Wedgewood Blue." At age 29, British potter Josiah Wedgewood began experimenting with clay. One of his inventions, jasper, appeared in 1774. This unglazed stoneware was colored with various hues, the most famous of which is a soft blue, and decorated with reliefs in contrasting white. This elegant Edwardian pendant presents a blue jasper plaque depicting a classical Greek beauty. The exquisite art piece is framed with glittering rose-cut diamonds, topped with a bow, and embellished below with a single pearl. Hand fabricated, the captivating collectible suspends from a 16-inch chain.

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.
