ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

The French equivalent of the Edwardian movement, La Belle Époque (beautiful era), dated from circa 1895-1914. The iconic style of the era was known as guirlande (or garland), as the jewelers often designed pieces featuring lacy flora, ribbon, and bow garland motifs, such as those displayed in this exquisite pendant/brooch. A leafy garland and curvilinear elements create its distinctive shape, while a wreath-encircled, fancy-set European-cut diamond creates a riveting focal point. Glinting rose-cut diamonds, white enamel, and a small diamond-topped natural pearl dangle add the finishing flourishes to this extraordinary piece of French jewelry history—a story waiting to be told at your neckline. Crafted in 18K yellow gold with platinum diamond settings, it suspends from an 18-inch chain and can also be worn as a brooch. Circa 1890. For extra French fabulousness, pair it with our bracelet 40-1-12101!

About Edwardian Jewelry

Edwardians took the dark beauty of Victorian jewelry and dyed it platinum blonde. Light and airy filigree, worked with intricate millegrain and detailed designs in that durable metal, was liberally set with the “white” stones—pearls and diamonds chief among them. The Victorians’ sense of whimsy and beloved yellow gold didn’t disappear completely, though, even as the Edwardian era made way for the further-streamlined Art Deco.

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.
