ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

If only we could reproduce original turn-of-the-century vintage French diamond earrings, but alas ... These consummate sparklers light up your lobes day & night with a matched pair *European-cut diamonds, together weighing 3.10 carats, beaming from within traditional lever-back ear drops hand fabricated in rich 18K rosy-yellow gold and surmounted by a tiny old mine-cut diamond on top. Wonderful, wearable and thoroughly stunning. French hallmarks. *The beauty of antique and vintage diamonds, compared to their modern counterparts, are the individual characteristics which distinguishes each and every stone. Rather than strictly adhering to cookie-cutter formulas, the diamond cutters of yore viewed each rough diamond as an ancient Greek or Roman sculptor viewed a rough piece of marble and fashioned it according to the dictates of nature and his own artistic impulses to create the most beautiful and valuable stones possible.

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.
