A lavalier in the truest sense — a light pendant made to adorn the neck like a chandelier. Faceted purple glass catches the light like a small amethyst, flanked by eight 2mm seed pearls set in 14k gold. This piece comes with its own history, as the bail is a later replacement; the pendant itself is original early 20th-century American work.
