ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

A ravishing rarity, this Victorian crescent pendant is composed not of the usual diamonds, but entirely of gemmy Burmese rubies in an array of deep raspberry-red hues, and is held by an artfully sculpted French-style gallery that incorporates the prongs into the design. Converted many years ago to a brooch, we decided to restore the enchanting jewel to its original pendant state by adding a chain--all else is original from a century-and-a-half ago. An extraordinary beauty. Total ruby weight, 3.80 carats. Hand fabricated in 18K gold. New 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.
