ABOUT THIS BROOCH

A pair of busy bees buzz about looking for someplace to land (your lapel?). Giving butterflies a run for their money, the dynamic duo is ablaze with riotous color courtesy of amethysts, tsavorite garnets, and spinels, while bright rose and single cut diamonds add lively sparkle. A darling and delightful Victorian retrospective, one will add a bit of buzz to your wardrobe, the other a little sting! Total diamond weight - .35 carat, total gemstone weight - 3.96 carats. Crafted in gilded silver, pin stem is 14K yellow 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.
