Graceful and unmistakably Edwardian, this antique lavaliere pendant is crafted in solid 9K gold and features the elegant openwork styling that defined the era. A sparkling round diamond simulant is suspended at the center, while a natural baroque pearl drop completes the design with delicate movement and timeless charm.
The pendant has acid tested as 9K gold and is suspended from a later 17-inch curb link chain marked 1/20 12K Gold Filled with a secure spring ring clasp, making it ready to wear while preserving the original pendant. The small accent stones that once decorated the lower crescent are no longer present, a condition reflected in the price. The pendant remains structurally sound and displays beautifully, offering the option of sympathetic restoration or continued enjoyment in its present antique condition.
