ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Why settle for just one when you can have both the moon and the stars?! This celestial Victorian jewel, measuring just over 2 inches across, centers on a shimmering blue flash moonstone from which radiates 16 rays, packed to the hilt with 5 carats of sparkling white old mine-cut diamonds. Crafted in warmly oxidized silver over gold, stars of this size and this caliber come around only once in a blue moon. Circa 1850, stunning as a necklace pendant or brooch.

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.
