ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

This remarkable Victorian rarity hypnotizes front and center with a large transparent cabochon quartz crystal that emits a lustrous liquid glow, somewhat evocative of a gemmy moonstone. The 'pool of light' is framed in velvety 18K gold ornamented all around with alternating cobalt blue enamel arrow motifs and satiny seed pearls. The back of the pendent is outfitted with a glass covered locket compartment that currently displays almost invisible wisps of memorial hair. A faceted quartz briolette dangles and dances below this enchanting keepsake - circa 1865. The pendant measures over 2 inches long by 1 inch wide and suspends from a 22 inch chain.

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.
