ABOUT THIS BROOCH

'Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you.' — Nathaniel Hawthorne. Butterflies never fail to delight. This one, with its lustrous pearl head and rose-cut diamond-dotted body, has ethereal wings of exquisitely carved natural jade, trimmed in gold-rimmed scallops of black and green enamel, and is ready to gently settle anywhere you like. Total diamond weight, .25 carat. Hand fabricated in 14K gold, it measures just shy of 1 3/4 by 1 3/8 inches. Accompanied by a GIA Gemological Report.

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.
