ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Beautiful things are birthed out of necessity. Tubogas, or gas pipe, chain was an innovation in response to the scarcity of jewelry materials during World War II. Tightly wrapping together, interlocking gold strips gave form to a gleaming, textured, and slightly stretchy chain. In this Mid-Century necklace, a single length of tubogas transitions to a bright braid, creating a luxurious wreath of gold for your neck, instantly elevating any ensemble. Hand fabricated in warmly burnished 18K rosy-yellow gold, it measures 16 1/4 inches.

About Mid-Century Jewelry

Mid-Century jewelers gave the Victorians a run for their money when it came to variety—with the added bonus of big, bold gems in every shape, size, and color. Themes of previous eras were made fabulous enough to match the optimism of the post-war world. Transitional pieces bridged the gap between the first and second half of the 20th century.

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.
