This mid-century rivière is strung with deep claret-toned stones — not the bright, synthetic “purple” you see everywhere today, but that old-world amethyst shade: wine through gold, plum through candlelight. The exact colour collectors describe as “evening amethyst” — the shade worn when the guest list was handwritten and the lighting was flattering on purpose.
 
Each cushion-cut stone is linked with tiny gilt “ribbon” connectors — not bows, not flowers, but that elegant looped motif you see in old European decorative arts, the kind of detail that whispers heritage instead of shouting design.
 
The workmanship is precise. The proportions are disciplined.
No oversized crystals, no modern bulk. Just a refined 39 cm collar — the length that sits at the base of the neck, close to the pulse point, like jewellery made for portraits, not parties.
 
It’s the kind of piece you don’t “style”.
You just inherit it, wear it, and let people think it always belonged to you.
 
A rivière for women who prefer lineage over logos.
For wardrobes that don’t need introductions.
For elegance with no exclamation mark.
 
Styling note:
Looks exceptional when worn with our amethyst glass statement ring (available to purchase online) — cut in the same estate violet tone, for a refined, heirloom-worthy set.
 
Best with high or structured necklines (silk blouses, cashmere, boat necks)
Wear it alone — no layering, no competing chains
Pairs beautifully with solid, luxe fabrics (velvet, silk, wool, linen)
Keep hair up or softly pulled back to showcase the neckline
Match with gold-tone jewellery only; avoid mixed metals
One statement ring is enough — ideally our matching amethyst glass ring
Works with classic bags and timeless tailoring, not trendy accessories
Day: crisp white shirt + trousers
Evening: clean makeup + berry lip, let the stones carry the colour
