ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

You don't want to cut the rug with just anyone, which is why you need this nifty dance card holder. We love repurposing interesting, obsolete and obscure accoutrement into something more useful - a necklace for instance! Formerly with an attached pinky ring, its original purpose was for the wearer to jot down the names of her intended dance partners and slip the 'dance card' between the halves of this lovely little shell (it opens and closes via the small sliding element), bringing proper etiquette to the dance floor--Victorian style. Fun to both wear and explain. Hand fabricated in 14K gold, circa 1875, the new 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.
