ABOUT THIS BROOCH

"Thank Heaven For Little Girls," Maurice Chevalier famously sang in the 1957 motion picture musical, Gigi. About a century earlier, the commissioner of this exquisite Victorian jewel had the same sentiment in mind. A glass-covered, hand-tinted photo of a lovely little lass (softly faded by the sands of time) is encircled by glittering rose-cut diamonds (totaling .85 carat) set in silver between leafy neoclassical finials hand fabricated in textured gold with each accented by a few tiny rose cut diamonds. A precious original Victorian keepsake. It measures 1 5/8 inches across.

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.
