ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Fancy jump rope? Nope. This 62-inch Victorian chain is a cool combination of two-toned smooth and textured links. Elongated curved silver links are darkened with niello (from the Latin "nigellus," which means "blackened") and alternate with a metal alloy bearing a rosy hue, together creating a chain that can be worn full length (if you are tall enough or just daring), doubled, or tripled. Its tantalizing texture is also a lovely distraction. Hand fabricated circa turn-of-the-20th-century.

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.
