Edwardian Lavalier Pearl Necklace
This exquisite Edwardian seed pearl lavalier necklace is a beautiful example of early 20th-century craftsmanship, radiating romantic elegance and delicate charm. Attached to an integral chain, the pendant is finely wrought in 9ct yellow gold, designed in a graceful, openwork floral motif that exudes the refined artistry characteristic of the Edwardian era.
At its heart, the necklace features lustrous seed pearls, carefully set into stylised blossoms that bloom from the centre. Each pearl glows softly, enhancing the pendant’s light, airy feel. The central motif flows down a dainty drop - a delicate articulated section with another pearl-set floral bloom - adding movement and allure. This piece, with its lightness, curves, and naturalistic inspiration, is the epitome of Edwardian jewellery - graceful, romantic, and timeless.
The lavaliere design gained popularity around the 1900s is named after Louise Françoise de La Baume Le Blanc, Duchesse de La Vallière (1644-1710), mistress of Louis XIV. It is still highly sought after today for its timeless beauty and wearability.
“Dear old world', she murmured, 'you are very lovely, and I am glad to be alive in you.”
L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Green Gables
