ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

So many of the things that we love about Victorian jewelry are beautifully displayed in this one pendant/brooch. At its center, a 15.00 carat red-wine colored cabochon garnet (also referred to as a carbuncle) is encircled by a fabulous frame decorated with white enamel and trimmed with twisted gold. A deep groove adds dimension between it and an outer frame embellished with gold beads, black and white enamel decorations, and a textured 'braided' trim. A small treasure trove of exquisite details artfully executed and ready for display at your neckline. Hand fabricated in 18K yellow gold, circa mid-19th century, the pendant suspends from an 18-inch chain and can also be worn as a brooch. Pin stem and mechanism are base metal, and the clasp is a newer replacement.

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.
