Design & Craftsmanship
Up for purchase is an exquisite piece of historical craftsmanship: an Antique 14K Yellow Gold Edwardian Lavallier Pendant. This highly elegant pendant features a dramatic fan-shaped drop design characteristic of the late-Victorian and Edwardian eras.
The piece showcases incredible openwork wire filigree, accented by delicate hand-chased gold leaves that trail down the elongated bail section. At the heart of the pendant is a bright, watery light-blue aquamarine stone nestled safely within an open-backed, multi-pronged floral setting. Running along the bottom curve is an arched row of tiny, beautifully matched pale blue-gray seed pearls/beads, framed by an outer border of textured gold foliage.
Hallmarks & Authenticity
- Stamped: Deeply and clearly stamped
14K on the rear bale loop connection bar, guaranteeing solid 14-karat gold content (585 purity).
Dimensions & Weight
- Length: 2 7/8" long
- Width: 7/8" at the widest bottom span
- Weight: 1.5 Grams
Condition Note (Important for Buyers)
- Overall State: Structurally solid filigree and secure stone settings.
- Flaw Details: Please note that the very bottom dangle loop currently holds an unpolished, raw fragment where a teardrop dangle stone or seed pearl drop originally hung. This can easily be enjoyed as-is for its historic charm, or easily restored by a professional jeweler with a fresh pearl or aquamarine drop.
💎 Rarity & Market Context
- Rarity Rating: Scarce Period Lavallier
- Value Dynamics: Original Edwardian openwork jewelry crafted in solid 14k gold remains highly competitive on the secondary market. Buyers actively look for delicate, feminine filigree that defines the early 1900s.
- Investment Value: Because this piece retains its crisp
14K hallmark and central aquamarine, it holds strong intrinsic and collector value. It makes a stunning heirloom focal piece when suspended from a delicate antique gold chain.
Keep in mind the shipping price also covers handling fees, packaging materials & time, not just postage.
