ABOUT THIS BROOCH

A beautifully framed work of art ready for display on your ensemble. The subject is rendered using a very fine type of enameling called Limoges (applied by painting the enamel on a metal surface), and appears (happily) tasked with feeding a basket of baby birds. A curling ribbon embellished with old mine-cut diamonds and shimmering emerald-green enamel loops around luminous natural pearls, creating a strikingly contrasting frame for this utterly unique Victorian jewel. Total diamond weight, .65 carat. Hand fabricated in 18K yellow gold (the oval rear frame is 14K yellow gold). The portrait is backed with mother-of-pearl. Condition note: the center piece has small chips on the edge.

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.
