ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

The origin of the term 'baroque' comes from the Portuguese word for 'imperfect'--barocco--and this imperfect pearl beauty is beyond breathtaking. A gorgeous silvery gray color with an iridescent luster, this wondrous gem of the sea is enwrapped by a satin-finished 18K gold leaf-bearing vine--highlighted with bright edges and accented with a trio of tiny round brilliant-cut diamonds--that joins to an exquisitely wrought reverse side which is a work of art unto itself.  A perfectly imperfect, stunning statement piece, it suspends from a 20-inch 14K gold rope chain.

About Estate Jewelry

Though it calls to mind grand manor houses in the English countryside, “estate” is just a fancy way of describing any piece of jewelry with a previous owner. That’s pretty much everything in our collection. We tend to use “estate” to refer to pieces in our collection with a more modern or contemporary design, or vintage-inspired designs. These perennial gems are selected in harmony with our original antique and vintage pieces…they’re just a little bit younger!

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.
