ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

A ring no more, this jubilant composition of color and sparkle has been converted to a pendant to adorn your neck.  Named after Kenya's Tsavo Park, one of the original mining locations for the gem, tsavorite garnets have a vibrant green hue that rivals that of emeralds. The color of the 2.40 carat cabochon (almost a dead ringer for an emerald) that gleams at the center of this pendant is highlighted, in icy-white contrast, by a halo of 10 crisply sparkling European-cut diamonds. Total diamond weight, 1.00 carat. Hand fabricated in platinum over 18K gold, circa 1900 (the Tsavorite has to be a later replacement, since they weren't even discovered yet), it suspends from a 16-inch chain.

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.
