ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

The vibrant blue of turquoise always adds a bright dash of color to any piece of jewelry--and it's been doing so for quite a long time. Turquoise is one of the world's most ancient gems, favored by Egyptian rulers and Chinese artisans of long ago. This artfully crafted curvilinear pendant is adorned at its center with turquoise cabochons and seed pearls, creating a lovely light and airy effect. A single dangling cabochon topped by tiny seed pearls adds the final pretty detail to this delightful Victorian jewel. Hand fabricated in 10K yellow gold. The chain measures 16 inches.

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.
