Fine Edwardian Amethyst and Seed Pearl Lavalier Pendant Necklace

1900 - 1920
Description

Elegant Edwardian Amethyst and Seed Pearl Lavalier Necklace in 9ct Gold

This beautiful Edwardian necklace dates to around 1900 and is a wonderful example of the delicate and feminine jewellery designs of the period.

The pendant is finely hand crafted in 9ct gold and displays an elegant lavalier design with graceful foliate openwork detail. At its centre sits a lovely oval amethyst of rich purple-mauve colour, framed by a halo of luminous seed pearls.

Surrounding the central stone are further flowing gold scrolls set with delicate pearls, creating a refined botanical design so typical of Edwardian jewellery.

Above the pendant a round amethyst gathers the split chain, while below a beautifully cut pear shaped amethyst drop completes the design, giving the piece lovely movement and sparkle when worn.

Light, graceful and extremely wearable, this charming antique necklace sits beautifully at the neckline and remains in excellent condition.

A wonderful example of Edwardian craftsmanship and a very romantic antique jewel.

This Edwardian lavalier pendant necklace dates to around 1900 and is formed from 9ct gold set with amethysts and seed pearls. The design includes an openwork gold frame with flowing foliate scrolls, set with white seed pearls and centred on an oval purple-mauve amethyst within a seed pearl halo. A round purple amethyst gathers the split chain above, and a pear-cut amethyst drop hangs below on a short gold link set with a small seed pearl. The pendant measures 7 cm in length and 3 cm in width, with a chain length of 40 cm. This antique necklace suits everyday wear or formal attire, resting directly at the neckline. It fastens with a spring ring clasp and bears a 9ct gold mark to the reverse. The piece integrates into a modern jewellery collection and provides a refined historical accent to evening wear, knitwear or formal collars.

An Edwardian lavalier pendant typically features delicate openwork metalcraft, foliate scroll motifs, and a central gemstone suspended from a chain, often accented by small pearls or additional drop stones characteristic of early 20th-century design.

These pieces were commonly crafted using yellow or white gold, platinum, amethysts, peridots, and seed pearls, utilizing fine millegrain or filigree metalworking techniques.

Authentic Edwardian items frequently display period hallmarks, hand-set gemstones, fine wirework or scrollwork, and natural seed pearls rather than synthetic or modern cultured alternatives.

A lavalier pendant can be worn as a singular accent piece against modern necklines or layered with minimalist chains for a contemporary multi-texture aesthetic.

Clean gently with a soft dry cloth and store separately from harder gemstones to protect organic seed pearls and soft amethyst facets from abrasion or moisture damage.
