ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Dating back to the latter-19th century, but presaging the organic design aesthetic from the forthcoming Art Nouveau period, this graceful antique jewel, artfully hand fabricated in silver over 18K gold, sparkles all around the classic double-whiplash motif with bright-white old mine-cut and European-cut diamonds (total weight 1.75 carats) and culminates below with a lustrous white natural saltwater (a.k.a. oriental) button pearl drop. Measuring 1 3/8 inches, this refined, elegant and timeless late-Victorian lavalière may also be worn as a brooch. 18-inch silver chain, pin back is 14K yellow gold.

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.
