The lavalier necklace was named after Louise de La Vallière, a prominent mistress of King Louis XIV, who popularised the style of wearing a single suspended ornament near the neckline
The distinct drop pieces became very popular in the late 1800s right through until the deco period. Designs with deco inspired swirls are among the most sought after. You can often find these pieces set with aquamarine, garnet, peridot, diamond and many feature seed pearls as well.
This particular piece has a barrel clasp, and enthusiasts will appreciate that feature.
This one comes with an independent valuation for $3,300 from 2025 before the rapid rise in gold prices. It also does not take into account the historical value.
It is fully hand made and includes 6 natural aquamarines.
This is a true collector’s piece.
