ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

The thoughtful and elegant arrangement of gems in this quietly magnificent Belle Epoque pendant creates a true art piece to hang at your neckline. At its center, a beautifully shaped mother-of-pearl is carved with an image of the Madonna framed by onyx and glinting rose-cut diamonds, while decorative elements north and south sparkle with single-cut stones. The artistic assemblage forms a navette that is trimmed with luminous natural pearls punctuated by single-cut diamonds, all suspended from an 18-inch chain by way of a diamond-set bail. For a bit of motion and additional luster, a pearl drop dangles below. Divine. Total diamond weight - .46 carat, total carnelian weight - .40 carat. Hand fabricated in platinum during the first or second decade of the twentieth century.

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.
