ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

This exquisitely fashioned lavaliere (and brooch) is resplendent with eight sizable, gloriously glittering, icy-white European-cut diamonds, totaling 4.60 carats and set amid a fancy openwork plume-style backdrop frosted with tiny twinkling stones. Dancing below, and adding a lovely spot of creamy pink color, is a conch pearl drop. Formed inside the Queen conch mollusk, these extraordinary gems are not traditional pearls; their invading irritants are covered in layers of a calcareous concentration instead of the nacre that covers all other pearls. Very rare and found only in the tropical waters of the Caribbean and Bermuda, this dreamy and delightful pearl is the perfect finishing flourish for this elegant late Victorian/Edwardian-era jewel (circa the turn of the 20th century). Total diamond weight, 5.60 carats. Hand fabricated in platinum over 14K gold. Chain measures 18 inches.

About Edwardian Jewelry

Edwardians took the dark beauty of Victorian jewelry and dyed it platinum blonde. Light and airy filigree, worked with intricate millegrain and detailed designs in that durable metal, was liberally set with the “white” stones—pearls and diamonds chief among them. The Victorians’ sense of whimsy and beloved yellow gold didn’t disappear completely, though, even as the Edwardian era made way for the further-streamlined Art Deco.

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.
