ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Like a stylized dagger in shape, this intriguing Victorian jewel has layer upon layer of eye-catching details. Centering the strikingly designed pendant is a dusky burnt orange carnelian plaque decorated with a leaf-like design set with tiny glimmering rose-cut diamonds and embellished with a single natural pearl. A ribbed enameled bar and a trio of natural pearls adorn the top, while pearl-tipped fringe dangles below. An elegant beauty. Hand fabricated in 18K gold. 18-inch chain. Condition note: there is a small chip on the agate.

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.
