ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Measuring a sizable and striking 3 3/4 inches long, this stunning, consummate Victorian tassel locket pendant, circa 1875, centers on a glowing oval cabochon garnet overlaid with a sparkling diamond-centered star. The garnet rises above a deep oval concavity framed in elegantly ornamented two-tone 14K gold shimmering with a warm coppery patina. The top is crowned with a fancy matching bale, and the bottom culminates in numerous dancing tassels. As a bonus, the reverse houses a large open glass covered display locket. A superb and stunning example of the rarefied Victorian aesthetic. 17-inch, 14K chain.

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.
