ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

A rare and ravishing pair of of elegantly proportioned rose-cut diamonds, together weighing approximately 5.25 carats, but equivalent in dimension to 5 carat each modern day diamonds. The bright white glistening stones are simply presented in foil-back settings and each secured with no less than 18 small prongs. Hand-fabricated in 9-10 carat rosy-yellow gold, we think they may originate from early-to-mid-twentieth century Mitteleuropa (aka Central Europe). Regal and majestic. They measure 3/4 inch long and drop down just shy of 1 inch.

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 While the delicacy of Georgian era settings has been replaced by more modern methods, the cuts and styles have continued to fascinate jewelry lovers.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.
