ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

This colorful and distinctively striking Victorian beauty, circa mid-19th century, wearable as both a brooch and necklace pendant, centers on an eight-pointed star set with glittering rose-cut diamonds radiating outward from a rich vibrant red unheated Burmese ruby. The glossy cobalt-blue sky is actually a large cabochon lapis lazuli encircled by alternating natural pearls and glittering rose cut diamonds in bullet-shaped settings. A rare, gorgeous, one-of-a-kind antique treasure hand fabricated in silver over 18K gold. 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.
