ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

Twin 19th-century Mermaids have left their home in the sea for dry land--more specifically, for your ear lobes. These fantastic fish-tailed femmes pose upon fancy hand-engraved ornaments--embellished with shells, leaves, and all sorts of flourishes, including a shimmering pearl--that swing and sway from sweeping ear wires. Tiny gold dangles add an extra bit of motion to these wonderful and whimsical jewels. Hand fabricated in 12K tri-color (green, rose, yellow) gold, ear wires are 14K.

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.
