ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

A bit of jewelry design history at your fingertips--or ear lobes as the case may be. These artfully crafted ear drops hail from the Victorian era and are fashioned with techniques used in creating Etrurian jewelry dating back to the 7th through 3rd centuries BC. Their sleek navette-shaped frames, decorated with finely twisted wire appliques and tiny gold spheres (granulation), elegantly curve around oval dangles also adorned with an Etruscan-style design. They swing, sway--and tinkle--below complementing ear wires, making a fresh and stylish statement in the 21st century. In 15K gold (hence, of British origin).

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.
