ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

Creole earrings, hoops that have an inconsistent thickness all the way around, are rich with meaning. In New Orleans Creole families, they are a right of passage for young women. Worn by women in the Caribbean and pirates alike, they are still favored by chic fashionistas today. Fun and sassy with lots of fancy details and juicy gems, this pair, crafted in gleaming gold with a satiny finish, is embellished with intricate wire overlay designs, textured edges, and rich purplish-red garnets.* Fittingly, they dangle beneath ear wires decorated with small fleurs-de-lys. Laissez les bons temps rouler! *Garnets are foil backed to increase their brilliance.

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.
