When patrons inquire after an "everyday necklace," we are wont to ask: everyday in the manner of Empress Sisi, or everyday in the fashion of Marie Antoinette?

Suspended from a fine gold-toned brass link chain, this sovereign bib necklace sweeps across the collarbone in a dramatic arc of eleven linked oval filigree medallions, each patterned with sculpted, micro-textured acanthus leaves. Graduated teardrop pearls sway from the lower links—three petite drops flanking each side before culminating in a regal trio of elongated, luminous pearl drops at the centre.

Notwithstanding its palatial presence, the airy hand-hammered brass and light pearls make for effortless wear from a promenade through the Hall of Mirrors all the way up to midnight champagne.
