ABOUT THIS BROOCH

Cubism--Victorian style. Predating Picasso's abstract art movement, an imaginative Victorian jeweler designed this intriguing brooch of angular geometric shapes replete with intriguing details. A rectangle-shaped malachite stone, painted by nature with varying shades of green, is set between two disks trimmed with tiny gold spheres with larger spheres adding dimension at their centers. The arresting assemblage suspends a malachite cube--accented with a decorative gold cap--by way of a foxtail chain swag that loops through a golden ring. A wearable work of art with dynamic dimension. A cool one! Hand fabricated in 14K gold (chain is gold filled).

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.
