ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

A beauty in profile (possibly, Flora, the Roman goddess of flowering plants) is carved in intaglio fashion on the front of this Victorian sardonyx disk pendant. Encircled by a ribbed frame and accented with an ornamental top, it suspends from a distinctive chain of cable links alternating with stations reminiscent of bow ties. If you are born in August and are not that keen on peridot or spinel, sardonyx was the original birthstone for this sunny summer month. Hand fabricated in 12K yellow gold. The 9ct chain measures 18 inches.

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.
