ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

While elephants may be the largest land animals, this little guy is just the right size to dangle from your charm bracelet or to brighten your neckline. Shimmering with 27 tiny single cut diamonds--and a twinkle in his ruby eye--his trunk is raised high, ready to add some pachyderm pizazz to your ensemble. Circa 1940s. Hand fabricated in *palladium over 18K white gold, the charm measures 3/4 by 5/8 inch. *Palladium is a look-a-like cousin of platinum, which was required as a strategic metal during the WWII years (thus palladium is a more peaceful precious metal!).

About Retro Jewelry

Hollywood glam got creative during the war era, when strategic factors forced jewelers to do without certain materials. Rather than scale back, they took the streamlined shapes of the Art Deco and went big, bold, and gold with them! Retro power pieces segued from the Jazz Age to the Fabulous Fifties, creating many motifs of vintage jewelry along the way.

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.
