ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Hearkening back to a pre-texting time when sweet sentiments were expressed through jewelry, this enchanting locket is rife with meaning. Hand fabricated in 15K gold (hence of British origin) with a lovely leaf motif, the front is decorated with a colorful flower set with gemstones, which, taking the first letter of each stone (ruby, emerald garnet, amethyst, ruby, and diamond), spell 'Regard,' a term used to convey appreciation and deep affection during the Victorian era. Equally lovely, the reverse is brightened by four turquoise cabochons centered by a small cherry-red ruby. The locket opens to reveal a glass compartment that covers an intricate flower design exquisitely created with the hair of a loved one that rests atop a mother-of-pearl backdrop. Delightful in every way, the jewel suspends from a 17-inch 9K gold rope chain punctuated by two cabochon turquoise stations. A true Victorian treasure, circa 1885.

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.
