A fine Victorian 15ct gold amethyst and pearl lavaliere love token necklace on a serpent link chain, circa 1860.
A lavaliere necklace is a timeless jewellery style that features a delicate chain with a single drop pendant, often accented by gemstones or intricate designs. Originating in the early 20th century, it became especially popular during the Art Nouveau and Edwardian eras, admired for its elegance and femininity.
The pendant usually hangs just below the collarbone, creating a graceful, elongated look that flatters the neckline. Lavaliere necklaces are versatile, complementing both everyday outfits and formal evening wear. Today, they remain a symbol of sophistication, often passed down as heirlooms or chosen as meaningful gifts to celebrate love and personal style.
