ABOUT THIS BROOCH

Whether worn in memory of a loved one or in celebration of one still living, Victorian jewelers (as well as creative Victorian women) used hair to fashion fascinating wearable works of art. An incredibly exacting process produced jewels such as this brooch, which features a dome of woven hair in light and dark tones, overlaid with a gold pinwheel that swirls around a hand-engraved disk. Having endured for over a century (in very good condition), it is a rare and remarkable collectible. Hand fabricated in 14K yellow gold (pin stem is base metal), it is engraved on the reverse with "LG Wardwell."

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.
