ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Dating back to the late 19th-century/turn-of-the-last-century (circa 1890-1900, an interesting and artfully combination of Victorian, Edwardian, and Art Nouveau aethetics), this large and lovely lavalière (measuring 2 7/8 by 2 1/8 inches) glistens and glows with a half-dozen very light blue (almost colorless) aquamarines of various shapes and sizes. The open whiplash design, composed of 9ct. rose gold knifewire (hence of British origin), is a precursor to the more elaborate Art Nouveau designs to come. Accented with a trio of small seed pearls.

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.
