The heavy, sombre mourning jewellery of the mid-Victorian period was gently set aside, making way for something entirely more delicate. This beautiful lavaliere pendant perfectly captures that historic shift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e​Named after the Duchesse de La Vallière, the lavaliere style is characterised by a central suspended drop designed to rest gracefully on the collarbone. It became the perfect companion to the softer, flowing fabrics, pastel silks, and elegant lace necklines that defined Edwardian daywear, allowing women to embrace a much lighter aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e​What makes this particular piece notable is its weight. At 6.2g, it possesses a substantial, solid construction that distinctly sets it apart from many of the mass-produced, lightweight hollow-form pieces prevalent during the era. It feels beautifully robust in the hand, crafted to be cherished for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e​The Specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e​The Design: An openwork foliate motif \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e​The Gemstones: Deep purple amethysts providing a rich contrast against the gold, gently accented by well-matched, securely set seed pearls in excellent condition, finished with an articulated pear-cut amethyst drop.
