ABOUT THIS BROOCH

A tisket a tasket, a sparkling diamond basket. Although the brown and yellow basket that Ella Fitzgerald sang about was sadly lost, no such misfortune will befall this delightful, glittering jewel. An exquisite openwork confection, a handfull of flowers rest in a woven basket with a bow-topped handle, all of which shine brightly with rose and old mine-cut diamonds. Hand fabricated in platinum over 18K gold, the sturdy pin back ensures that it will stay securely in your possession, while adding floral flair to your ensemble. Total diamond weight, 1.00 carat. By way of France, circa 1900.

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.
