ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Forever enshrined. Someone's precious pooch is preserved for all of posterity in this whimsical Victorian Essex crystal* pendant. Adorned with a nifty blue bow, the scruffy wide-eyed fellow is framed by glimmering cornflower blue sapphires and lustrous natural pearls and suspends from an 18-inch chain. A truly intriguing, beyond adorable! rare and ravishing canine collectible, circa 1890. Hand fabricated in 14K gold. Total sapphire weight, 2.00 carats. *Essex crystal pieces are rock crystal cabochons with a flat base on which images are hand carved and painted, giving the subject a three-dimensional effect.

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.
