ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Throughout history, pearls have been one of the most desirable forms of adornment. Cleopatra possessed two of the largest ever known, while the ancient Greeks and Romans valued pearls as symbols of wealth and prosperity. This strand shimmers with 33 large (10.9 - 16.6 mm [!]) South Sea pearls with an intriguing characteristic: slight movements or fluctuations in the producing oyster's environment cause rings (growth lines) to form around the pearl instead of a smooth surface. These rings add subtle texture and reflect light in unique patterns, making these enthralling gems even more so. The strand connects with a gold clasp adorned with a wave design. Measures just over 17 1/2 inches.

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.
