I love the multifunctionality of this piece that doubles as both a lavaliere pendant and a brooch. The jewellers in times gone by were so inventive. A very fine delicate piece encrusted with dainty seed pearls and a wonderful aquamarine blue stone to the centre in a delicate daisy design. This is one of the daintiest lavalieres I have found and I love the fact it can be worn as a brooch too!!

I am glad you like it!! It does look wonderful when worn with on a simple elegant chain around the neck. I have lots of lovely Victorian and Edwardian lavalieres I will try and put some more on collectors weekly very soon : )
Beautiful- aquamarine is my birthstone and pearl is my husband's birthstone.
