ABOUT THESE EARRINGS

Chandelier style earrings first appeared in Roman times, reappeared during the Renaissance and persisted until the late Victorian period. Thank goodness! These fun and fabulous French earrings might eliminate the need for flipping the light switch. Dangles of shimmering old mine-cut diamonds, set in sleek knife wires, swing and sway from fanciful scrolled tops embellished with black enamel and accented with a single diamond. And if that's not enough, these lovely and versatile jewels transition beautifully from day to night; remove the fancy dangles and--voilà--you have an easy-to-wear pair of simple diamond drops. Pure perfection - circa 1880-1890s. Total diamond weight, 3.00 carats. Hand fabricated in 18K yellow gold, they measure 1/2 by 1 5/16 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.
