From the #ChicEveryday Collection – effortless vintage glamour for daily wear.
 
An ode to bold 1980s glamour with a Riviera twist, this necklace combines architectural detailing with soft curves and standout shine. At first glance, it stuns with its three rows of graduated gold-toned beads, each one perfectly polished to reflect light with a mirror-like gleam. These beads cascade in a classic rivière-style silhouette, gracefully dipping at the center to create an elegant frame around the collarbone.
But the true stars of the design are the dramatic shell-shaped end connectors at either side. Sculpted in a dynamic, fanned form, they evoke the luxurious seashell motifs of vintage seaside resorts and 1980s resort wear. These connectors are finished in a cool-toned silver metallic glaze, forming a bold contrast against the richness of the triple gold plating. Their slightly domed, pear-drop centers create a dimensional, eye-catching focal point, resembling stylized marine elements or sculptural shoulder armor from retro couture.
The necklace is constructed with a seamless clasp and round graduated links that continue the design language of symmetry and flow, giving the entire piece a sense of balance and strength. Despite its bold appearance, the piece is lightweight and comfortable to wear, making it ideal for both daily outfits and special occasions.
 
Whether styled with sharp tailoring, a vintage blouse, or a silky slip dress, the Rivière Shell Drops Necklace feels like a piece lifted straight from a ‘70s jet-set archive — now ready to add drama, depth, and a touch of nostalgia to your everyday wardrobe.
 
About the Collection: This necklace belongs to a Renaissance Revival rediscovery collection sourced exclusively from an acclaimed UK costume jewelry maker. Shuttered in the late 1980s, the manufacturer's archives remained untouched for decades until recently, preserving a treasure trove of unworn, beautifully made pieces. We are thrilled to bring these time-capsule creations to you, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of fashion history.
