ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

A thing of beauty with a sparkling diamond—and a patent! There's a reason why this lovely late-Victorian pansy pendant/brooch shimmers with iridescent ombre colors. A patented innovation for improving the "Production of Ornamented Metallic Plates" by Newark, New Jersey jeweler Wallace M. Hedges was used to create this jewel. Varying colors of metal were placed on a plate of base metal, arranged to form the desired design, and rolled out to create one piece of multicolored-faced metal. And what a result! This softly textured bloom shimmers with petals of rose and yellow gold with platinum veins, while a lively .36 carat European-cut diamond sparkles at its center. Victorian innovation and artistry ready for display at your neckline or wherever you choose to pin it. Hand fabricated, circa turn-of-the-20th-century, it suspends from an 18-inch 14K yellow gold 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.
