ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

In this utterly alluring Victorian confection, subtly curved openwork links, dotted with bright old mine-cut diamonds transition into captivating calligraphic links frosted with glimmering rose-cuts, all culminating in a scintillating .90 carat antique pear-shaped diamond, 'kissed' on each side by an old mine cut. Dangling below the light-filled stones is a mesmerizing 6.00 carat silvery blue cabochon star sapphire surrounded by glittering rose-cut diamond-set ribbons and seven shining old mine cuts. Simply sublime. Total diamond weight, 7.00 carats. By way of France, 1839-1847 (Restoration period). Hand fabricated in silver over 18K gold, it measures 15 1/2 inches. Accompanied by a gemological report from Stone Group Laboratory stating: Natural, No Indications of Thermal Enhancement, Ceylon (Sri Lanka) origin.

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.
