ABOUT THIS BROOCH

Born in 1644, Antonio Stradivari, went on to become the creator of some of the finest and most highly sought-after stringed instruments—especially the indisputably acclaimed Stradivarius violin. Their sound has been described as more "direct and precise," responding to the slightest touch with refined direction and elegance. — Wikipedia. Only around 650 of these extraordinary music makers are still in existence, and the Stradivarius Messiah violin, made in 1716, is estimated to have a worth of $20 million. How fortunate for you that we have this smaller and more accessible version. Crafted in 18K gold (in Germany), circa 1930, and exquisitely detailed, this instrument in miniature is colored with enamel in a rich mahogany hue, trimmed with glittering rose-cut diamonds, and is accompanied by diamond-dotted bow. Music for your eyes!

About Vintage Jewelry

Like fine wine, fine jewelry also has a “vintage”—the design period or era from which it hails. Victorian or Edwardian, Art Deco or Retro, each piece in our collection has its own special pedigree. But just because one era ended and another began, it doesn’t mean that creative jewelry makers simply forgot the lessons of the past! Many of the jewels in our cases refuse to conform to a single design period, either by striking out on their own or showing the transition from one era to the next. When such daring dazzlers are over one hundred years old, they’re generally grouped in the antique category. Anything younger than that, but still made before 1970, fits the vintage label. Every iconic era yields both singular and transitional pieces, like the ones we’ve assembled here. Follow the link at the end of each section for more about the aesthetics and history of the period.

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.
