ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

Acknowledging that though you are a queen, actually wearing a crown upon your head these days might be a bit much. Reflect your status instead with this rare and regal 19th-century Georgian jewel. Glimmering with seven pear-shaped and seven round foil-backed dusky smoky quartz gems, it measures 3 1/4 by 1 1/2 inches and makes a most impressive brooch or a perfect accent for an updo! (conveniently secured by slipping a hairpin through the back loop).  A unique quite special adornment for your royal self. Total smoky quartz weight, 36.75 carats. Crafted in 9ct. rose gold, hence, of British origin.

Georgian Jewelry

True antiques, Georgian jewels are the earliest pieces in our collection. Lovely foil-backed stones in mixed-metal settings were made to shine by candlelight over dinner and in the drawing rooms of their genteel wearers. Many pieces were made in memory of loved ones or as “memento mori”—literal reminders of mortality that Georgians saw as sophisticated, rather than morbid. While the delicacy of Georgian era settings has been replaced by more modern methods, the cuts and styles have continued to fascinate jewelry lovers.

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.
