ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

A dog lover's dream! Long ago (early-to-mid-1800s), a lady or gentleman of means (presumably upper crust Brits) commissioned this fabulous suite of jewels in honor of their prized and much loved canine family members. A trio of regal, ultra-snooty, pure-bred hounds are hand carved in high relief in deep teal green and vermilion-specked bloodstone studded with rings of tiny glinting rose-cut diamonds. The main brooch supports a matching acorn shaped vinaigrette and a matched pair of westward pointing pals make up the whimsical ear drops. 18K yellow gold. When not otherwise engaged in a none to sporting fox hunt, they reside in their original fitted leather box.

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.
