ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Enchanting from top to bottom, this stunning mid-19th century pendant necklace features a pale steely-blue sapphire weighing approximately 3.80 carats. The entrancing gemstone centers a regal sunburst design adorned with multi-shaped old mine-cut diamonds, lustrous natural pearls, and striking cobalt blue and bright red enamel. A natural pearl drop dances below this 1 and 3/4 inch long and lovely antique jewel. Notice the lozenge shaped bail set with a diamond-like white topaz and tiny rose-cut diamonds. The (probably) original chain measure 16 inches. Fine and fabulous.

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.
