ABOUT THIS BROOCH

Here's proof that the platinum and white gold bar pin craze of the 1920s-30s Art Deco period had antecedents dating from Victorian times, such as this exceptionally striking example. Measuring a quite conspicuous three inches long, it is artfully hand fabricated in three distinct layers of velvety 12K yellow gold. The elegantly elongated navette shape top is overlaid with leaves and stems, and the second layer is colored in turquoise and white enamel 'petals', while the supporting layer presents a delicately beaded frame culminating at both ends with fancy terminals adorned with ultra-fine decorative granulation. A beauty. Circa 1885.

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.
