I clean vintage pieces by gently washing with dish soap (vintage patina is good, vintage dirt and germs are bad…yuck!) Then I will often give a quick surface buff with a silver cleaning cloth to bring up the contrast, leaving the natural patina of age in the details to enhance its beauty. popular

MORE ABOUT LANG STERLING:
Lang Sterling Jewelry Company was founded in 1946 in Providence, Rhode Island. In addition to brooches, Lang Sterling produced charms for bracelets, zodiac signs, individual figures in period costumes, and compositions that are based on folklore motifs. Lang Sterling is rightfully included in the famous book by Fred Rezazadeh “Collectible Silver Jewelry” (1997). Lang Sterling disappeared from the marketplace in the mid 1970's (1977?). The collectible value of Lang Sterling jewelry is growing as it becomes more rare.
