This very special, circa 1915 lavaliere pendant boasts a large, natural, genuine faceted aquamarine in a lacey Edwardian style mounting suspended from a pierced triangular bail. The pendant alone measures 1" high by 11/16" wide; with the bail, the height is 1 7/8".
The gem’s pronged mounting has very finely stamped foliate and ribbed designs hinting at the Art Deco movement to come. The bail is pierced with horizontal, ribbed bars surmounted by a very brightly faceted flower and leaf design.

The two lengths of novelty chain give the necklace a total inner measurement of 16 ¾". The clasp is a fancy filigree folded hook style stamped with the jeweler’s hallmark which appears to be "JHF."
This is a natural, genuine aquamarine gemstone. It has an approximate weight of 11.75 carats, and is 18mm high and 15mm wide. There is one tiny chip on the underside, one very short inclusion, but no cracks, and no scratches. The mounting and chain are rhodium-plated metal.
The size and color make this pendant a rare encounter. During the Belle Époque and Edwardian eras, the aquamarine was favored as its light hue was preferred when set in "white metals" and worn with the filmy and feminine styles of the Bon Ton. Today, genuine aquas of any size are hard to come by. This is an opportunity to possess a bit of the romance of the past in a pendant that is worthy of heirloom care.
