ABOUT THIS BROOCH

The stunning handiwork of nature and the exquisite craftsmanship of a master jeweler harmonize to create this intriguing and extraordinary brooch (of sizeable proportions). A large agate with a striking, irregular white band is surrounded in serpentine fashion by an intricately hand-engraved coil of gold decorated by black enamel. The reverse features an open-face locket compartment that currently contains artistically arranged hair, evocative of a butterfly in design. An extraordinary 19th-century treasure ready for display on the collar of your denim jacket, favorite little black dress, scarf, or wherever your imagination leads. Hand fabricated in 12K gold. The brooch also has a flip-up bail to accommodate a chain, allowing it to be worn as a pendant. It measures 2 inches in each direction.

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.
