ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

In this exquisitely crafted late Victorian jewel (circa 1890), a kinetic pinwheel design swirls (figuratively) and sparkles (mightily) with just over one-and-a-half-carats of bright-white European and old mine cut diamonds (the center stone alone weighing .42 carat), accented in between with flames of glistening apple-green demantoid garnets all the way from the Ural Mountains of Russia. An exceptional, unique, and versatile pin and pendant dating back to the turn of the 20th century. Total garnet weight, .65 carat. Hand fabricated in warmly burnished 14K rosy-yellow gold, it measures 1 inch across. The new chain measures 16 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.
