ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Looking for a unique statement piece? The Victorians were known for creating such jewels, and this pendant/locket will have all eyes on you. Centered by an arresting 30.00 carat pansy-colored cabochon amethyst--adorned with a leaf design set with small natural pearls--the pendant is strikingly encircled by a petal-like frame accented with deep, glossy cobalt blue enamel and gleaming all around with luminous half-pearls. Suspended from a substantial and exceptionally supple 18-inch wheat chain, the riveting jewel has an open-face locket on the reverse side and is engraved with "Husbie April 21, 1946." Hand fabricated in 18K gold. Chain is 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.
