A 'lavalier', 'lavaliere'or 'lavalliere' is an item of jewellery consisting of a pendant, sometimes with one stone, pendulous and centered from a necklace.

The style was popularised by the Duchesse de la Vallliere a mistress of King Louis XIV of France. A lavaliere can be recognised most for its drop, usually consisting of a stone and/or a chandelier pendant, which is attached directly to the chain, not by a bale.

She may be around 120 years old but this beauty is so current and wearable today.

Elegantly styled as a double drop lavaliere and set with a central multi-claw set oval natural faceted Amethyst measuring approximately 11mm x 9mm or 2.50cts. Suspended below on knife edge bars are two of the most beautiful pear-cut Amethysts we have seen of medium purple hue and each measuring approximately 14mm x 10mm or 3.20cts each. Set between these two gorgeous Amethyst drops is a further round faceted small Amethyst also set to a knife edge bar.

Delicately accented with tiny seed half Pearls throughout.

Crafted from 9ct rose gold in the first decade of the 20th century and in a mix of Edwardian and Art Nouveau styles this substantial lavaliere looks incredibly on the décolletage.
