ABOUT THIS BROOCH

Unless your name is Vicki, Vera, Velma, or Veronica .... 'V' stands for 'Victory!' in this strikingly chic and stunning (and patriotic) Retro brooch, created shortly after WWII to commemorate the triumph of virtue over the forces of evil. Measuring a sizable 2 1/2 inches, it is hand fabricated in bright polished 14K gold and set with a trio of vibrant candy apple-red Burmese cabochon rubies (weighing about three carats each) that adds a colorful flash. A rare, resplendent, and collectible jewel with an uplifting history. Created as a joint venture by American and French Allies - Trabert & Hoeffer (of Chicago) & Mauboussin (of Paris). Total ruby weight, 8.50 carats. For total victory check out 30-1-10848.

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.
