ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

In an unusual turn of events, Mother Nature reached way up to the sky and pulled the most glorious orange glow that she could find right out of a sunset and used it to color the enchanting carnelian stones in these Victorian earrings. Beautifully shaped pendeloques, with a lovely soft marbling, connect to drops of bright orange, all of which swing and sway from ear wires while adding a bit of sun-kissed color to your lobes. Hand fabricated in 12K gold, circa turn-of-the-20th-century.

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.
