Antique St Esprit Pearl and Sapphire Lavaliere Necklace
This enchanting antique Edwardian Saint Esprit pendant necklace is a truly romantic treasure. Crafted in solid 10K yellow gold, the graceful dove is adorned with seed-pearl wings and holds a vivid blue sapphire, symbolizing purity and devotion. The bird is framed within a concentric circle and suspended from a long, openwork seed-pearl bar with a solid bale, all beautifully complemented by a fine 14K gold chain.
The Saint Esprit—depicted as a dove in flight, traditionally carrying an olive branch—was a beloved motif in France during the late 18th and 19th centuries. Revered as a symbol of piety, love, and refinement, these pendants were often given to a betrothed or worn proudly in society.
