ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

The ancient Egyptian pillars known as the Luxor Obelisks were carved and positioned on each side of the Luxor Temple during the reign of Ramesses II, c. 1250 BC), and their striking form clearly inspired a Victorian-era jeweler to fashion these dramatic drop earrings. Lavishly hand-engraved with a lush floral motif, the long and lovely geometric shapes swing beneath textured domes that connect to sweeping ear wires, and will create a gleaming golden glow at your lobes. Hand fabricated in 18K gold, circa 1880.

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.
