ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

This dramatic glossy black locket necklace of intriguing design hails from the Victorian era, and if you're looking to add a statement piece to your collection, this is a great one. Faceted, onyx beads, interspersed by small gold spacer beads, culminate in a distinctively shaped onyx plaque, its concave center overlaid by a design element set with tiny natural pearls that also features a moving disk decorated with leaves and scrolls. The photo compartment on the reverse side is deep enough to hold a small keepsake. Wow! Hand fabricated (circa 1880s) and strung on wire, it measures 18 1/2 inches. Condition note: as expected after a century and a half, the onyx pendant has some minor blemishes, one on the front, side, and back, and several on the edges.

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.
