After Hortense Necklace

The original is in a case somewhere it should not be. Queen Hortense's sapphire necklace, last seen at the Louvre before someone decided provenance was negotiable.

This is not a replica. It is what happens when that triangulated lattice, the diagonal geometry, the way the whole structure fans from center, gets translated into bead and stone.

The framework is the point. Diagonal struts cross at intervals, building a lattice that distributes weight the way jewelry from that period was engineered to: not as ornament sitting on the body, but as structure working with it. It moves because the geometry allows it to. It holds because the geometry requires it to.

Wear yours to an opening, a lecture, a dinner where the conversation will be worth having. A deep V or a scoop neck gives the lattice room to read. A plain shell lets the structure carry the outfit.

Made in an array of gemstones.
