ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

From those wildly stylish Victorians comes these sleek and striking drop earrings crafted in ... (wait for it) .... Vulcanite*! Measuring 2 and 1/2 inches long, the woody, earthy brown geometric shapes are tastefully enhanced with golden rivets. Uncommonly cool, wearable collectables.

*Vulcanite is compressed, 'vulcanised' rubber originally developed by Charles Goodyear in the US and Thomas Hancock in England, circa 1844. It was used as an alternative to jet, which was common for fashion and mourning jewelry in the mid-to-late Victorian era of the 19th century.

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.
