sides of the center element, ending at the sides by the hinge and opening

condition is perfect except for a VERY shallow 1/2" straight light
depression on the back. The clasp closes firmly and easily, the pearls are
all there and have a lovely sheen and the enamel is all in place. It is a
size slightly smaller than the standard contemporary size of 7" at 6-1/2"
with a 1-1/4" wide front and 1/2" wide back.. The finish is matte or
bloomed not shiny, absolutely gorgeous. View

Dainty lavalieres are seen in many photographs of
the early 1900’s.

A lovely small waist is ornamented with a striped
belt and fancy buckle or sash pin.

Starting just before the turn of the century, lighter weight jewelry became
popular, reflecting the advent of metals that were strong enough to support
this style of jewelry making as well as the tastes for lighter fabrics in
clothing. (Think of the white hand embroidered dresses worn by Edwardian
ladies like these>>>

This filigree style continued and developed through the flapper era and into
the 1930’s. Sometimes they are plain filigree,
and sometimes decorated with rhinestones and/or enameling.
