ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

A masterful jeweler carved this distinguished woman in profile, creatively using the layered colors of this banded agate with striking effect. Fashioned in low relief, the fair-skinned beauty is adorned in pearls, crowned with a headdress in shades of brown, and is set against a deep coffee-colored backdrop rimmed with a white and brown circle. The cameo rests in an engraved bezel framed by a halo of lustrous natural pearls and glinting rose-cut diamonds and suspends from a 17-inch box chain by way of a bail set with old mine-cut diamonds. The chain shown is sold separately. An exquisite work of wearable art. Total diamond weight, .70 carat. Hand fabricated in 18K yellow gold. The cameo is engraved on the back with, "B & ER, rsGG." Condition note: one small diamond is a replacement round brilliant cut.

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.
