ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Inspired by the treasures unearthed from Egyptian royal tombs, Egyptian Revival-style pieces have fascinated jewelry lovers throughout the ages. This colorful museum-worthy necklace, by prominent New York City jeweler and silversmith Theodore B. Starr, is exquisitely crafted and embellished with iconic Egyptian motifs. The focal piece presents an oval cabochon turquoise, with striking veining, set in a bezel decorated with tiny gold beads, and surrounded by a frame accented with green, red, and blue enamel. A sphynx in repose adorns the top, while turquoise drops capped by enameled lotus elements dangle below. The intriguing and exotic composition connects to a gleaming 17 inch 18K gold chain and closes with a swivel clasp. Circa 1900.

About Victorian Jewelry

The eclectic Victorians didn’t limit themselves when it came to motifs and themes—if it struck their fancy, they turned it into jewelry. Sweet and sentimental with a distinct romantic streak, Victorian gems expanded upon their Georgian predecessors. The array of styles that blossomed (sometimes quite literally) during this era endure to this day.

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.
