ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

The New York Police Department saw some big changes in the 1900s: a Bomb Squad (1905), a Motorcycle Squad (1911), and an Emergency Service Unit (1926), among others. And, one Archibald H. McNeil of the Fourth Division Squad was promoted to inspector in 1929. The momentous occasion was commemorated with this gift—a replica of the official inspector's badge, with one shining difference: the .20-carat European diamond that sparkles at its center. The back is engraved with, "Inspector Archibald H. McNeil. Promoted on July 10th, 1929 to the rank of inspector. From members of the Fourth Division Squad." Well done Inspector McNeil! Crafted in 14K yellow gold, it suspends from an 18-inch chain and can also be worn as a brooch. A cool, wearable collectible.

About Art Deco Jewelry

Sleek and modern, Art Deco design brought jewelry into the machine age. Yet these stylish pieces still found room for the fine forms and lines of previous eras within their elegant architecture. In particular, we see many peaceful co-habitations of Edwardian and Art Deco styles together.

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.
