A delicate antique lavalier pendant dating to the early 20th century, crafted in 10K yellow gold with striking black enamel accents, a petite diamond, and a suspended pearl drop. Its elongated openwork design reflects the transition from the graceful ornamentation of late Art Nouveau toward the stronger geometry of the emerging Art Deco period.
At the center, a small diamond is set within a floral-style setting framed by a black enamel teardrop. A second black enamel accent rises above, creating a dramatic contrast against the warm yellow gold. Suspended from the base is a petite pearl drop, adding subtle movement and softness to the pendant's architectural design.
Measuring just over 1 1/2 inches long, the pendant has an elegant, elongated silhouette while remaining wonderfully delicate. The combination of yellow gold, black enamel, diamond, and pearl gives this petite antique piece an unusually distinctive presence.
Dating to approximately the 1910s–1920s, this beautiful lavalier captures a fascinating moment in jewelry design when the flowing forms of Art Nouveau were giving way to the symmetry and geometry that would define Art Deco.
