Edwardian Rock Crystal Egg Silver Lavalier Pendant Necklace

1900 - 1920
For Sale by Corvidae Antique
Description

These lovely Edwardian eggs pop up now and again but it's rare to find a whole necklace, particularly with its original hand-wrought silver chain. This is a nice large example with a slice of faceted rock crystal sandwiched between the two halves of the egg. The gem tests within the quartz range and at first glance looks like carnelian or red agate but the colour has a slightly more pink tinge so it could be something like a dyed chalcedony or just a bit of a mystery stone!

SIZE: The chain is 18 inches long; the egg is 2 x 1.5cm and the oval cabochon above is 1.4 x 1cm.

WEIGHT: 8.0g.

MATERIALS: Silver (tests as sterling), rock crystal.

HALLMARKS/STAMPS: There is an illegible stamp on the silver chain.

CONDITION: Excellent antique condition.

ERA: Edwardian (c.1901-1914).

Declaration

Corvidae Antique has dated this Edwardian Silver Lavalier Necklace to the Edwardian era.

This Edwardian lavalier pendant necklace combines sterling silver, rock crystal, and red stone elements into a drop-style design. The piece comprises a hand-wrought silver link chain holding an oval red cabochon set in a bezel, from which suspends a large egg-shaped red pendant. A faceted slice of rock crystal is sandwiched as a band between the two halves of the egg pendant. The chain secures with a small round clasp near the top, and an illegible stamp marks the silver chain. Measuring 46 cm for the chain length, with the egg pendant at 2 cm by 1.5 cm and the oval cabochon at 1.4 cm by 1 cm, this wearable antique accessory suits personal ornamentation today. The red and silver tones contrast against each other across the polished stones and metal links. The necklace adapts well to being worn over garments for formal or everyday attire in contemporary settings.

FAQs

A lavalier necklace features a pendant hanging from a chain, often with an additional gemstone drop suspended below the main element. Originating in the early 20th century, this style was named after the Duchess de La Valliere and became prominent during the Edwardian era.

Edwardian jewellers frequently used sterling silver, platinum, yellow gold, quartz, rock crystal, carnelian, pearls, and diamonds, emphasizing delicate metalwork and light-reflecting gemstones.

Authentic Edwardian necklaces typically feature delicate tracery, milgrain edging, bezel-set stones, hand-drawn chain links, and appropriate period hallmarks stamped on the clasp or drop.

While worn as personal adornment, antique jewellery can be styled in a modern interior by displaying it inside a glass-topped velvet jewellery tray, hung on a brass stand on a dressing table, or framed within a shadow box.

Store the piece in a dry, soft pouch to prevent tarnish and scratching. Clean gentle silver tarnish using a soft microfibre cloth, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or submersion if porous stones or adhesives are present.
