ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Choker necklaces date back to the Sumer Empire in Mesopotamia, and this whimsical Victorian version shows why they have endured fashion's ever-changing fancy. Giving your neck a close embrace (it measures 13 1/4 inches), it is resplendent with a riotous display of colorful stones--yellow sapphire, zircons, pink tourmalines, blue sapphires, and peridots--all linked together by openwork enameled links. Very chic worn solo or layered with other necklaces. It even has a little loop so that you can attach a pendant or a charm. Attributed to the renowned and highly collectable Italian master jeweler and goldsmith Carlo Giuliano. A ravishing rarity. Total carat weight for gems, 10.40 carats. Hand fabricated in 15ct gold (hence, of British origin). Note: enamel shows some wear commensurate with age of piece.

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.
