ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Pietra dura (translation hardstone), a Florentine mosaic technique that began during the Renaissance and was revived in the 19th century, is beautifully presented in this Victorian pendant. A charming spray of turquoise blue and creamy white flowers is set, in striking contrast, against a velvety black background and surrounded by a gold frame embellished with gleaming gold beads and scrolls. The delightful art piece connects to a bail decorated with fine twisted wire appliques and gold beads and is shown on a smooth black cord.  Hand fabricated in 12K yellow gold (the back of the pendant is rose gold).

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.
