Edwardian Solid 14K Yellow Gold Lavalier Pendant with Pearls and Sapphires

This lavalier pendant is crafted in solid 14K yellow gold and features an open filigree diamond-shaped frame with classic Edwardian styling ✨. The design is airy and symmetrical, with fine wirework forming an elegant lattice that keeps the piece visually light while still feeling substantial in hand.

At the center are two small blue sapphires set horizontally, providing cool contrast against the warm gold and acting as visual anchors within the design 💙. Surrounding them are clustered pearls arranged in balanced groupings, each showing soft luster and natural variation consistent with traditional pearl settings of the period.

Suspended from the bottom is a single elongated pearl drop that adds movement and a gentle vertical line, completing the lavalier form 🤍. The reverse shows open construction with clean solder points and consistent gold thickness throughout, confirming solid construction rather than stamped or hollow work.

Marked 14K on the bail. A refined pendant that reflects early 20th-century influence while remaining easy to wear today 💛.
