ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Created by Christopher Pinchbeck circa 1720, Pinchbeck is an alloy of copper and zinc and was a popular, lighter substitute for gold. An appealing benefit of the metal was that it remained unoxidized for a fairly long time, retaining a shiny gold appearance. And shine it does in this 26-inch Victorian rolo link chain. Each link in the necklace is textured with diagonal grooves and tiny gold beads, all joined together by a hand clasp—a symbol of loyalty, friendship, and love—decorated with a ruby and a ruffled cuff. It makes an uber-chic solo statement and a striking base for layering.

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.
