ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Dating back to the turn-of-the-20th-century, when Egyptian style was still all the rage, this exotic and striking necklace centers on a sizable turquoise scarab presented within graceful textured 18K gold loops accented with lustrous white natural freshwater pearls and culminating in a large dangling natural freshwater wing pearl. The striking assemblage is complemented by a long chain punctuated by smaller turquoise scarabs of various shades and a dozen natural baroque freshwater pearls. A rare and wonderful, collectible, artsy, and ultra-cool proto-hippie creation. Hand fabricated. Chain measures 22 inches (23 inches including the width of the pendant).

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.
