ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Drape your décolletage with this dazzling delicacy from latter-nineteenth-century France. Exquisitely hand-fabricated in rich 18K yellow gold, the openwork neckpiece is equally divided into ten sections, each connected by a bright, buttercup-set old mine-cut diamond, the largest of which serves as the clasp. The bottom four sections are festooned with sparkling diamond garlands culminating in the center with a foliate design supporting three dancing diamond tassels. This rare, romantic and ravishing jewel sparkles with 7.40 carats total of bright-white antique and old mine-cut diamonds. The necklace measures 15 inches and the centerpiece drops down 1 3/4 inches. Magnifique!

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.
