ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

This exemplary and distinctively beautiful antique jewel, expertly hand fabricated in silver over 15K gold (hence of British origin), circa 1885-1900, is artfully colored in cobalt blue enamel ribbons dotted with tiny white polka dots. The circular design (measuring just shy of 1-inch diameter) sparkles with small old mine-cut diamonds and tiny rose-cut diamonds. When not out and about on the town, this breathtaking jewel resides in its original fitted box complete with pendant-to-brooch conversion fittings. Although we can find nothing to substantiate it, the back of the pendant is engraved with, "From Queen's Coronation crown 1902." Hmm, beautiful and mysterious.

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.
