ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Beautifully beveled and embellished with a delightful array of dimensional textured details, this classic Victorian pendant gleams at its center with an oval dome colored with bright blue turquoise enamel and centered by a shimmering six-ray star-studded with lustrous seed pearls. Formerly a brooch, this lightly crafted, yet sumptuous jewel, glows with a rich, warm patina and suspends from an 18-inch chain. Rendered in 16-17K gold, circa 1885. When a set is in order, we have matching earrings: 20-1-12249.

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.
