ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

An enchanting pair of gemstones: a large heart-shaped citrine surmounted by a smaller faceted round citrine, cast a dusky golden amber glow in this fabulous one-of-a-kind jewel hailing from turn-of-the-last-century France. The citrines are each framed all around by glistening old mine and rose-cut diamonds set in silver over 18K gold. The heart shape (estimated at 42 carats) is crowned by an artfully designed diamond-set bow and suspends from a split collet-set diamond chain. This striking and breathtaking, artfully hand crafted antique jewel measures just shy of three inches, the chain measures 18 1/2 inches.

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.
