ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

Oh, the dexterity, keenness of eyesight and the artistic vision that it took to create a masterpiece such as this Victorian micromosaic brooch and earring suite. All pieces depict a serene cupid, his quiver of arrows close at hand, against a calm blue sky and surrounded by rings of twisted gold wire and a scalloped design. They are created—with extraordinary skill—from tiny rods (tesserae) of colored glass, painstakingly arranged to form the final image. When you're not wearing them, you'll no doubt gaze upon their intricate beauty (jewelers loupe recommended), marveling at the artistry they represent. Magnificent! Hand fabricated with 18K gold, circa 1880s.

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.
