ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Greek mythology states that one night (while he was in manicurist mode), Eros trimmed Venus' fingernails and the gods turned the clippings into the stone known as onyx. Aah, if only all nail clippings turned into gemstones. The front of this glossy black enamel pendant locket is embellished with a floral motif set with tiny natural seed pearls, while the reverse features a distinctive gold oval design and the inside reveals a double photo compartment. A dramatic jewel - circa 1880s - it attaches to a striking 18K yellow gold 17-inch chain of faceted onyx beads and small pearls. From the hands of the goddess to your neck.

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.
