ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

Once part of a bracelet, this pendant and earring set are miniature masterpieces of micromosaic. Set against richly hued reddish-brown goldstone (a manmade glittering glass), each exquisite bloom on these jewels is created--with extraordinary skill--from tiny rods of colored glass, painstakingly arranged to form the final image. When you're not wearing them, you'll no doubt gaze upon their intricate beauty (jewelers loupe recommended), marveling at the artistry they represent. In 14K gold (ear wires and the 18-inch chain are new). Condition note: one small piece of a mosaic is missing on the earring with the white flower.

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.
