ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

In case you hadn't noticed, Victorians loved crescents, and their variations on the commonly used and very cool curve were seemingly endless. Behold this necklace of eye-catching crescents, each set with cheery bright blue turquoise stones and lustrous seed pearls, all connected by trios of tiny turquoises. Creating a scalloped centerpiece, the fanciful waning moons transition to a flat cable chain, its clasp accented with a turquoise and pearl-dotted ornaments. Nineteenth century chic (circa 1885) strikes again! Hand fabricated in 14K gold, it measures 17 1/2 inches. Condition note: one pearl is chipped.

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.
