ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

It's all in the details. These simple drop earrings present two exceedingly clear and sparkling European-cut diamonds in distinctive platinum and 18K gold settings (evocative of crowns from the side view), suspended from curvilinear lever backs that are their own work of art. The finishing--and uncommon--detail on this stylish pair of ear wear--a soft satin finish on the metal that contrasts beautifully with the bright stones. Superb. Total diamond weight, 2.41 carats. The diamonds date from the early-20th-century, the mountings were hand fabricated sometime later. Each diamond is accompanied by a GIA Grading Report stating: 1.16 carats N VVS2, and 1.25 carats M VVS2, respectively.

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.
