ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

 A gorgeous, glowing pair of moonstones (total weight, 9.00 carats) shimmers and shines night and day in this stunning pendant necklace, hand-fabricated in warmly burnished 14K yellow gold, circa 1900. The stones, accented all around with bright raspberry-red rubies, old mine and rose-cut diamonds, plus two larger old mine-cuts, connect via a square-set oval ruby and suspend from a substantial 16 1/2-inch box chain with an engraved barrel clasp. Wondrous. Total diamond weight - 1.35 carats, total ruby weight - 1.40 carats.

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.
