The Mystery of What is a Lavaliere Necklace?

After years of reading about Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield's matching gold lavaliere necklaces that they got for their 16th birthday and wondering "What the heck is a lavaliere necklace?", the Sweet Valley High mystery has been solved.



Thanks to an amazing post on Racked.com, I now know that this is a lavaliere necklace:

Very pretty. But not at all what I pictured. I always thought it was some sort of gold chain and green and ivory stone with a gold setting. Which doesn't make any sense, but what can you do. Anyway, at least I finally know. Now if I could only solve the mystery of why the updated SVH books took the twins from a perfect size 6 to a perfect size 4. Oh yeah, it's because the world wants us to hate ourselves.
