A beautiful example of Art Nouveau jewelry, this antique lavalier pendant is crafted in 10K gold with an airy, flowing silhouette characteristic of the period. Delicate openwork and fine filigree trace the elongated frame, while engraved leafy details decorate the lower portion of the pendant.
Pearls are arranged throughout the design, including a delicate pearl suspended freely within the open center. An irregular pearl drop hangs from the base, giving the pendant lovely movement and emphasizing its graceful, elongated form. The combination of intricate goldwork, botanical-inspired decoration, and softly lustrous pearls captures the romantic naturalism that made turn-of-the-century jewelry so distinctive.
The pendant is finished with a fluted bail and would look beautiful worn alone on a fine antique or vintage chain.
