ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Kids will be kids. This late-19th-century pendant/brooch features the original party animal--an adolescent Bacchus (or Dionysus in ancient Greek), the mischievous Roman god of wine and revelry. Hand carved in vibrant, rich persimmon-colored coral, he is arrayed in a lion-skin toga, and his flowing locks are crowned with the customary grape clusters. Set inside an ornate and intricately fashioned 14K gold frame, featuring a fancy swinging element embellished with lively dancing fringe, he can't wait to get the party started. Hand fabricated, circa 1880. New chain measures 18 inches. The more the merrier--we have matching earrings 20-1-5107.

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.
