A little theatre. An unmistakable presence.
 
The Queen Noir brings together the rich contrasts of glossy black, sculptural gold-tone scrollwork and a luminous pearl-like drop. Its oval centre is framed by twisted rope detailing and an elaborate flourish of curling leaves, recalling the grandeur of an ornamental miniature portrait frame.
Dating from the 1980s, it captures the decade’s appetite for bold, regal adornment. The dark centre lends depth and composure; the ornate surround catches the light; the suspended drop brings a graceful finishing note.
 
Wear it high on the lapel of a beautifully tailored jacket, at the neckline of a black dress, or against an ivory silk scarf. It gives even the simplest ensemble the feeling of a considered entrance.
An expressive piece for a collector with a taste for drama - and the confidence to wear it.
 
Provenance
The Queen Noir comes from a remarkable discovery: preserved deadstock from a historic London jewellery warehouse that closed its doors in the late 1980s. Rediscovered decades later, its inventory revealed a time capsule of unworn vintage jewellery.
 
Today, the archive supplies period pieces to productions including Bridgerton and Joan, alongside a select circle of vintage dealers.
From this collection, the Queen Noir offers a beautiful connection to the opulence of the 1980s - preserved across the decades and now ready for its first chapter of wear.
