The lines created by a lavalier are sleek, elegant, and sensual.  Finely crafted metal with beautiful detail, ending in a single shining gemstone, like a tear running off a cheek, or a dew drop on the tip of a leaf.  Lavalier necklaces have existed in some form for hundreds of years but really hit their stride at the start of the 20th Century. 

In beautiful sterling silver, this rare pendant is circa 1910, with a large blue shiller moonstone, and paste set “lace work” setting.
