INQUIRE ABOUT THIS ITEM

ABOUT THIS BROOCH

This nifty little bee must have imbibed some super special nectar because it is glowing and glimmering all over. No ordinary black and yellow hues here, this enchanting insect boasts a myriad of colors courtesy of bright cherry-red rubies and a glorious 1.10 carat pear-shaped opal that mesmerizes with electric iridescent blues and greens. Tiny rose cut diamonds add shimmer, while its two ruby eyes keep watch for the perfect bloom. Utterly delightful, thoroughly Victorian. Total ruby weight, .64 carat. Hand fabricated in silver over 10K gold. Condition note: opal shows crazing (slight cracks due to loss of water), common and commensurate with the age of the 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.
