ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

Set with 61 carats of beauatiful cabochon and carved sapphires, this chic and stunning brooch, bracelet, and earring suite by the renowned French jeweler Chaumet* is a rare and ravishing collectable.The brooch, a fabulous flower bursting with bright blue carved oval sapphires, is supported by artfully sculpted 18K gold leaves and shines at its center with sparkling old European cut diamonds. Continuing the theme, the extravagant bracelet blossoms with five flower heads, set upon double links, each glowing with round and oval cabochon sapphires and twinkling with bezel-set old mine cut diamonds. Gracefully climbing earrings complete this rare, wonderful, and versatile ensemble from mid-century Paris. C'est si bon! Total diamond weight, 2.55 carats. Crafted in 18K gold. Bracelet measures 7 inches.*From the Antique Jewelry University: The house of Chaumet was founded in 1780 by Marie-Etiene Nitot as Nitot et fils. Nitot had begun his career working with Auber, jeweler to Queen Marie-Antoinette. An aristocratic clientele was soon to follow him to his new workshop. A reputation as the “jeweler of the tiara” was earned in those early commissions when Nitot created the coronation crown for Napoleon. Napoleon wanted to make his family transcendent and saw jewels as the true symbol of power to be used in displaying his kingly authority. Empress Josephine appeared at the coronation resplendent in a tiara created for her by Nitot, and so it began.

About Vintage Jewelry

Like fine wine, fine jewelry also has a “vintage”—the design period or era from which it hails. Victorian or Edwardian, Art Deco or Retro, each piece in our collection has its own special pedigree. But just because one era ended and another began, it doesn’t mean that creative jewelry makers simply forgot the lessons of the past! Many of the jewels in our cases refuse to conform to a single design period, either by striking out on their own or showing the transition from one era to the next. When such daring dazzlers are over one hundred years old, they’re generally grouped in the antique category. Anything younger than that, but still made before 1970, fits the vintage label. Every iconic era yields both singular and transitional pieces, like the ones we’ve assembled here. Follow the link at the end of each section for more about the aesthetics and history of the period.

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.
