ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

An arrestingly beautiful banded agate cabochon, striking in its color and natural composition, is the centerpiece of this Victorian mourning pendant. A distinctive white band separates the rich, coffee brown hue on the top half of the stone from the translucent bottom half, which glows with a suffused golden color traversed by slender bands of deep brown. This stunning piece of natural abstract art is set in a brightly burnished gold bezel frame adorned with seven smaller banded agates. The reverse features an open display locket. Rendered in 16ct gold, it measures 1 3/16 inches by 9/16 inch. The newer 14K 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.
