ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Whether waxing or waning, the graceful shape of a crescent moon has long served as an inspiration and mainstay of Victorian jewelry design. And in this delightful adornment, dating back to the latter 19th century, four glittering rose cut diamond-studded crescents coalesce to create a stunning and sinuous lavalière with a small lustrous white baroque pearl dangling below. Lovely. (According to the British website onyourjourney.co.uk: "The waxing crescent moon is associated with intention setting, manifestation, and taking action towards our goals. The waning crescent moon is a time for reflection, release, and letting go of what no longer serves us.")

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.
