ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Happenstance is a romantic notion when it comes to meeting the love of your life. But a mollusk awaiting just the right bit of something so that it can form a pearl is a random affair that can take a long time. Kudos to Mikimoto--the son of a noodle maker-- who believed that every woman should have a strand of pearls. He started the first cultured pearl farm in 1888 to expedite the process and to make them more accessible. If you don't already have a strand, or if you want more (think Coco Chanel), this 18 3/4-inch long and lustrous beauty, finished with a fancy 18K gold pearl-accented clasp, is calling your name. Signed Mikimoto.

About Estate Jewelry

Though it calls to mind grand manor houses in the English countryside, “estate” is just a fancy way of describing any piece of jewelry with a previous owner. That’s pretty much everything in our collection. We tend to use “estate” to refer to pieces in our collection with a more modern or contemporary design, or vintage-inspired designs. These perennial gems are selected in harmony with our original antique and vintage pieces…they’re just a little bit younger!

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.
