Edwardian Gold Filigree, Sapphire & Seed Pearl Lavalier Pendant by Krementz

Delicate openwork and softly colored gemstones give this Edwardian lavalier pendant an exceptionally graceful appearance. Crafted in 14k yellow gold circa 1910, the elongated design features fine, flowing filigree that creates an airy framework around a series of petite seed pearls. A square-cut sapphire weighing approximately 0.10 carat finishes the pendant with a beautiful touch of pale blue color.

The seed pearls are arranged vertically through the center of the pendant with additional pearl accents tucked into the lower filigree work. Fine gold lines curve and overlap around them, creating the light, lace-like quality characteristic of Edwardian jewelry. The sapphire sits on point at the base, its geometric shape providing crisp contrast to the delicate curves and creamy pearls above. An articulated upper section adds subtle movement while preserving the pendant’s elegant elongated silhouette.

Made by Krementz, a historic American jewelry manufacturer founded in Newark, New Jersey, in the 19th century, the pendant reflects the company’s reputation for finely made jewelry and intricate metalwork. Weighing just 1 gram, it has the wonderfully light, delicate construction typical of the period, making it a charming surviving example of early 20th-century design.
