ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Few if any Victorian locket pendants come as fine and fabulous as this Persian turquoise studded delight, masterfully hand fabricated in velvety 15ct. yellow gold in Great Britain, circa 1875. Measuring just over 1 3/4 inch long by 1 1/16 inch wide, the multidimensional oval design is centered with a cluster of vibrant (un-faded by time) turquoise half-beads set in a concave niche surrounded by small oval bezel-set cabochons entwined in micro-torsade trim and finished with a matching bail. The reverse houses an open display locket. The original serpentine chain measures 18 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.
