ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

An aristocratic Elizabethan beauty is captured in profile, and in delightful detail (including her pearl necklace and high-necked ruffle collar), in this wonderful hardstone carnelian cameo pendant/brooch dating from the mid-to-latter 19th century. The rosy-yellow gold open work frame boasts a warm antique patina and is further enhanced with four glistening old-mine cut diamonds which together total .75 carat. Hand carved and hand fabricated, circa 1880. Bonus: The reverse of the cameo is hand inscribed by Isabella "T+Co" (Tiffany no doubt). Pendant measures 1 3/4 by 1 1/2 inches and suspends from a removable, new 18 inch chain.

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.
