ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

Great civilizations rise and fall. The ruins of one of them, the Roman Empire, are depicted in this masterfully hand-fabricated Victorian micromosaic pendant/brooch. The scene is set in onyx and surrounded by a frame fashioned with twisted gold that adds dimensional texture to the exquisite jewel. Micromosaics depicting historical scenes such as this were popular vacation souvenirs for Victorians traveling through Europe and, we might add, much lovelier than the common contemporary keychain. In 14K gold, it suspends from an 18-inch chain and can also be worn as a brooch.

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.
