ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

Time. It seems that we never have enough or we have too little, and its importance is such that we often create extraordinary works of art to assist us in marking the minutes and hours. This is one of those art pieces. Created around 1901, by the Elgin Watch Company of Elgin, Illinois (founded in 1864), the front of this splendid pendant watch is overlaid by 18K gold decorated with repousee-like scrolls and sparkling along its edges with lively old mine and European-cut diamonds. The center is brightened by rich terracotta-colored enamel and marquise diamonds that shine around a European cut, while the reverse reveals an understated watch face with fancy hands. Utterly exquisite, it has a 15-jewel movement and suspends from a new 14K gold 20-inch chain by way of an ornate bail. Total diamond weight - .60 carat. Watch Care and Warranty.

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.
