ABOUT THIS BROOCH

Add a dash of color, sparkle, and luster to your ensemble all at once with this elegantly shaped late-Victorian bar brooch. Bordered by a sweeping curvilinear frame, a cluster of lively rose-cut diamonds, centered by an opal swirling with an enchanting play of color, is joined east and west by an array of equally lovely opals, accented with glittering old mine-cut and single-cut diamonds. Trios of natural pearls add shimmer at each end of this exquisite turn-of-the-20th-century jewel. Total diamond weight - .31 carat, total opal weight - 1.65 carats. Hand fabricated in 14K yellow gold.

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.
