ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Once upon a time, way back in the mid-to-late 1800s, this delightful three-dimensional drop served as the top of a hat pin. Well, since no one wears hats these days (baseball caps don't count) , we simply severed the potentially injurious 6-inch long pin stem, added a loop, and voilà--we have this lovely and eminently wearable necklace drop. Intricately detailed in classic Etruscan Revival style, and accented with four small lustrous white seed pearls, the exotically shaped adornment is crowned with a dusky wine red cabochon garnet, now facing south. A wonderful, one-of-a-kind Victorian treasure. Hand fabricated in 18K gold, it suspends from an 18-inch chain.

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.
