ABOUT THIS BROOCH

This grand and glorious Retro brooch from the glamorous 1940s would be perfectly at home on the shoulder of a screen goddess from Hollywood's Golden Age - in this case however, the gold is imbued with a distinct rose-colored tinge. This beautiful 3-plus inch-long bauble stars a glistening emerald-cut aquamarine with a bright Beverly Hills swimming pool-blue color. The gemstone is garlanded in bright-red rubies, golden diamond and ruby-set ribbons and a sparkling diamond and ruby fountain. Ready for the red carpet!

About Retro Jewelry

Hollywood glam got creative during the war era, when strategic factors forced jewelers to do without certain materials. Rather than scale back, they took the streamlined shapes of the Art Deco and went big, bold, and gold with them! Retro power pieces segued from the Jazz Age to the Fabulous Fifties, creating many motifs of vintage jewelry along the way.

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.
