lavalliere

Dangling jewelry piece

A lavalliere is a pendant on a fine chain, typically worn close to the neck.

The ornament usually features a single gemstone or small decorative element hanging from a delicate necklace.

The style was popular in the early twentieth century and remains a classic jewelry form: She wore her grandmother's lavalliere to the wedding.
