This pearl, kyanite, sapphire, topaz, and silver necklace-called a sautoir in French-continues a cherished tradition. Centuries ago sautoirs incorporated royal insignia into celebrations. Pearls were especially honored. Coco Chanel modernized the look, while flappers relaxed the style.
"Hello Gorgeous" is a 39" sautoir with a 6.5" tassel. The tassel's 12 strands emerge from the Studio's floral bead cap, as a confetti pattern of silver pearls, labradorite, blue sapphires, and sky blue topaz.

If you love scarves, sautoirs are a jewelry equivalent of scarves. Sautoirs, like scarves, offer flexible styling options. The gems in "Hello Gorgeous" enhance primary colors (like denim, navy, black) as well as pastels (white, off white with a touch of blue, gray).
I'm not one to discourage shopping, but before buying new clothing, walk through your closet and lay "Hello Gorgeous" against your clothes. I'm betting you will see your existing wardrobe come alive.
Consider a dramatic pairing with my earrings.
