Why is it called a lavalier?
1 Answer
The lavalier necklace is believed to be named after Duchess Louise de La Vallière who was the mistress of the King of France, Louis XIV, in the 1600s. This elegant pendant-like necklace much later inspired the name of a microphone that clips at the neckline. Shop a range of lavalier jewelry from top boutiques on 1stDibs.
