ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Vibrant, vivid, brilliant, resplendent. These are just some of the adjectives that try their best to describe the gorgeous and gloriously apple-green stones in this exquisite 19th century necklace. Forty-five electrifying demantoid garnets--very rare and originally found in the Ural mountains of Russia--glow all along a wreath-like chain, dotted with old mine-cut diamonds, that transitions to diamond-set links, which connect to a cluster clasp of diamonds and a single garnet. The irrepressibly colorful and sparkling necklace culminates in a dangle-centered openwork diamond and garnet drop, topped by a lovely bow 'knotted' by a bright .30 carat old mine-cut. A remarkable, ravishing and collectible jewel. From France, circa 1890. Total diamond weight - 3.24 carats, total demantoid garnet weight - 3.25 carats. Hand fabricated in darkened silver over 18K gold, it measures just over 15 1/2 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.
