INQUIRE ABOUT THIS ITEM

ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

This is one chic and snazzy snake. His sinuous graduated chain body culminates in a tail that wraps around his intricately engraved head, which is jauntily topped by a sizable, foil-backed 7.00 carat pink topaz 'beret.' With garnet eyes gleaming, he slithers about with a smaller snake-wrapped topaz (junior?) dangling from his mouth, creating a most fascinating Victorian necklace. Total topaz weight, 9.44 carats. Hand fabricated in 9K gold (hence of British origin), it measures 15 inches. Condition note: Foil-backed topazes show some wear commensurate with the age of the piece - circa mid-19th century.

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.
