ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

An intriguing and intricately fashioned work of art, this 19th-century pendant/locket brooch from France captivates with an image of a mother and child, exquisitely painted using the Limoges enameling technique. The blissful pair, playing instruments in an idyllic setting, are framed by a hand-engraved octagonal bezel set in a fanciful openwork surround accented with flowers and ribbons and brightened by emeralds, chrysoberyls, garnets, and sapphires. Nineteen natural pearls, including one that dangles beneath, add a luminous sheen. A miniature masterpiece, it suspends from a 24-inch chain, is wearable as a brooch, and has an open locket compartment on the reverse side. One enchanting jewel, so many options. Hand fabricated in silver.

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.
