Elegance and history intertwine in this exquisite lavaliere necklace, a testament to the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Crafted in radiant 14k yellow gold, the necklace boasts an intricately articulated design, gracefully presenting two arms adorned with delicate seed pearls. The pearls are artfully arranged in flourish clover patterns, adding a touch of nature-inspired charm.
Dominating the heart of this necklace is a captivating flower motif, exquisitely set with seed pearl petals that surround a mesmerizing green centre stone. This enchanting centrepiece captures light and admiration from every angle.
Dangling gracefully from the floral centrepiece are two pendant arms, each showcasing an enchanting 3-leaf clover or trefoil design—often a symbol of luck and prosperity. The arms sway gently, adding movement and a touch of whimsy to the necklace.
Though retaining its historical essence, this necklace has a replacement 10k clasp that was switched out at some point in its history most likely. The dainty chain delicately wraps around the neck, promising elegance with every wear.
