ABOUT THIS BROOCH

Here's a seldom seen, yet strikingly effective, gemstone combination in an exotic antique jewel all the way from turn-of-the-20th-century Imperial (pre-Soviet) Russia. Measuring just over 2 1/4 inches across, the rosy-yellow gold crescent-shaped stem is overlaid with a gently graduated trio of flowers (or fireflies?) with petals (or wings) composed of two luminous silvery oval moonstones and a bright pear-shaped turquoise, all of which are dotted in between with tiny glittering rose cut diamonds set in silver. A rare and ravishing wearable collectible. The imperial warrant mark indicates that the maker was a distinguished jeweler to the Imperial Russian court. Total diamond weight - .25 carat, total moonstone weight - 8.00 carats.

About Victorian Jewelry

The eclectic Victorians didn’t limit themselves when it came to motifs and themes—if it struck their fancy, they turned it into jewelry. Sweet and sentimental with a distinct romantic streak, Victorian gems expanded upon their Georgian predecessors. The array of styles that blossomed (sometimes quite literally) during this era endure to this day.

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.
