ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

Evocative of a very fancy octopus (not intentionally, it's actually a combo pinwheel/starburst!), this enchanting--and beautifully dimensional--Victorian retrospective pendant/brooch shimmers and sparkles with tiny seed pearls, luminous cultured pearls, and a circle of lively round brilliants centered by a single bright European-cut diamond. And just like the mesmerizing creature of the sea, that is known for its ability to transform, this pendant can also be worn as a brooch. Wonders never cease. Total diamond weight, .65 carat. Hand fabricated in 14K gold, circa early-20th century. 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.
