ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

This sweet suite of Victorian jewels has been happily married for almost 150 years! Hand fabricated in warmly burnished 14K rosy-yellow gold, they feature faceted vibrant amethyst-colored glass discs center-pierced with tiny seed pearls. The 1 5/8-inch-long dangle earrings (they drop even a bit further from the ear wires) swing and sway with lots of movement, while the matching concave oval pendant (formerly a brooch), measuring 1 1/8 by 7/8 inch, is framed all around by a ruffled collar. Lovely. Circa 1880-1890. Chain measures 18 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.
