Did you know that lavalieres were named for the infamous Duchess Louise de la Valtier, mistress to King Louis XIV?
Well, this lavalier is made of a fine 18 kt. gold chain with sun bright citrine and Akoya pearl pendant. The citrine is a beautiful yellow with rays that remind you of the sun. The side stones are perfect Akoya pearls.
Akoya pearls are the finest of pearls. Unlike freshwater pearls, these pearls are cultivated in salt water in Japan. Stores like Tiffany and Mikomoto sell only Akoya pearls because of their fine luster and near perfect shape.
Wearing citrine helps to unwind tension and encourages the body to relax. The stone is believed to help you find your spiritual potential.
