ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

A jet black pendant locket measuring 1 and 13/16 inches long (that's just a smidgen shy of two inches not including the black enameled bail) is carved from a piece of solid black onyx. The front displays a design of interlocking letters, composed of rose gold set with seed pearls which, in this case, forms a symmetrical abstract design (when viewed sideways). The reverse houses an oval picture locket with a rose gold bezel. Minor chips on the bail and on the upper right side of the locket - not bad considering it's one and a quarter (plus) century age.

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.
