ABOUT THIS BROOCH

Hearkening back to a pre-texting time when sweet sentiments were expressed through jewelry, this enchanting brooch/locket is rife with meaning. Hand fabricated in 18K gold (circa mid-1800s), with a hand-engraved sculptural leaf and swirling vine motif, the front is decorated with a colorful cluster of gemstones, which, taking the first letter of each stone (ruby, emerald, garnet, amethyst, ruby, and diamond), spell 'Regard,' a term used to convey appreciation and deep affection during the era. The reverse reveals an open-face locket, perfect for displaying a small photo of the one so held in high regard. An alluring and romantic Georgian treasure. Condition note: The gemstones show abrasion, and the gold has two small breaks that do not affect the integrity of the piece.

Georgian Jewelry

True antiques, Georgian jewels are the earliest pieces in our collection. Lovely foil-backed stones in mixed-metal settings were made to shine by candlelight over dinner and in the drawing rooms of their genteel wearers. Many pieces were made in memory of loved ones or as “memento mori”—literal reminders of mortality that Georgians saw as sophisticated, rather than morbid. While the delicacy of Georgian era settings has been replaced by more modern methods, the cuts and styles have continued to fascinate jewelry lovers.

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.
