lavalier necklace is named after Duchess Louise de La
Vallière, mistress of French King Louis XIV, who popularised the style in the
17th century. Although there are a few different interpretations, they're
usually characterised by a gem-set drop at the bottom, generally elongated
form, and two points at the top where the chain attached. There was a
resurgance in popularity towards the end of the Victorian era, that continued
into the first decades of the 20th century. Pieces from this time, such as this
one, were usually featured graceful floral-, foliate-, or ribbon-themed curves
with open spaces between, and evolved to incorporate design elements of the Art
Nouveau period as it developed.
