ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

The artistry and ingenuity of 19th century jewelers never cease to amaze. An exquisite combination of elements coalesce to create this captivating memorial pendant/brooch. At its center, a fancy-shaped opal shimmers with electric hues of iridescent blue, green, and red that contrast with curved bands of soft color, together creating a mesmerizing 'landscape,' set in a frame fashioned with subtle scroll details. This stunning gem is surrounded by a lacy openwork vine motif, glimmering with candlelight-loving rose cut diamonds, and embellished at the top with a single ruby-centered flower. The reverse reveals a fabric-lined, glass-covered compartment ready to hold a special keepsake. Glorious. From France, according to the hallmarks. Total diamond weight, .90 carat. Crafted in blackened 14K white gold and 18K yellow gold. Chain measures 16 inches.

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.
