ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

You can't be neutral about purple--it's just not that kind of color. So, for purple lovers everywhere we bring you-- courtesy of those dapper color-loving Victorians--this luscious pendant necklace. The power of pure purple glistens and gleams in the form of a 19.00 carat lozenge-shaped amethyst that shimmers all around its edges with double rows of luminous, iridescent natural pearls, each one bearing a unique hue. Formerly a brooch, the jubilant jewel now suspends from an 18-inch cable chain. Purple reigns! Hand fabricated in 14K gold.

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.
