This antique French lace pendant necklace is a meaningful gift for a 13th wedding anniversary, traditionally known as the lace anniversary, making it a thoughtful choice for a wife or partner. Preserved within the silver oval pendant, the historic lace becomes a lasting keepsake that can be enjoyed for years to come. A soft neutral cotton backing supports the antique white lace and enhances its detail.
Because the lace and backing are both cotton, this piece may also appeal to those seeking a traditional 2nd anniversary gift.
Your necklace arrives in a gift box, ready for presentation and safekeeping: no wrapping needed.
The lace is an early 20th-century textile in a soft off-white ivory tone, prized for its intricate floral pattern. Originally produced in France for fine garments and decorative trims, the lace reflects the craftsmanship and textile artistry of the 1920s.
Set within a silver-plated pewter oval pendant, it has a gentle weight that gives the piece a substantial feel without being heavy when worn. The pendant is produced by a U.S.-based manufacturer and provides a durable, heirloom-quality frame.
The pendant hangs from a rhodium-plated, soldered link chain for durability and a softly polished finish. Chain lengths are available to suit personal preference - the model is shown wearing a 22" chain. For a custom length, simply leave a note at checkout.
With its neutral ivory tone and classic design, this pendant pairs easily with both everyday wear and more formal attire.
