The Legacy Collection - Rare vintage jewels, handpicked to be treasured for generations.
 
There are necklaces.
And then there are collars that command a room.
 
This magnificent, solid, gloriously weighty 1980s Cabochon London collar is the latter.
Crafted in richly gilded metal with sculptural, architectural links, this piece is unapologetically bold — a true statement of British vintage costume jewellery at its peak. Each segment is beautifully contoured, forming a seamless, structured silhouette that sits regally around the neckline.
Between the sculpted gold links rest luminous imitation pearls — perfectly rounded, creamy, and in exceptional vintage condition. Their surface remains smooth and radiant, offering that soft, aristocratic glow only well-preserved vintage pearls possess.
 
Interspersed throughout are pavé-set paste stones that bedazzle with the brilliance of fine diamonds. The sparkle is not shy — it catches light in movement, glimmers under evening lamps, and photographs like high jewellery. The quality of the paste is superior, cut and set with intention, not mass production haste.
 
This is not lightweight costume jewellery.
It is solid. Substantial. Decisive.
You feel its craftsmanship the moment you lift it.
 
About CABOCHON London
Cabochon was one of Britain’s respected vintage costume jewellery houses, known for producing bold, high-quality statement pieces during the late 20th century. Their work often drew inspiration from high jewellery maisons while maintaining distinctly British character — sculptural, confident, and impeccably finished.
Since ceasing operations, Cabochon pieces have become increasingly collectible among vintage connoisseurs. Well-preserved examples — especially collars of this calibre — are now rare to source, particularly in excellent condition.
Collectors recognise Cabochon for:
Strong construction
High gold-tone finishing
Luxurious weight
Elegant reinterpretations of high-jewellery design codes
This collar is a prime example of why the name continues to appreciate in the vintage market.
 
Design Language
The silhouette subtly echoes iconic Bvlgari collar necklaces of the 1980s and 1990s — structured, powerful, unapologetically glamorous — yet this piece holds its own identity.
It delivers the same commanding presence as fine Italian gold collars, but at a fraction of the cost — and with the added charm of true British vintage provenance.
 
The Woman Who Wears This
She does not whisper with her jewellery.
She anchors her presence with it.
This is for the woman who:
Wears silk shirts buttoned to the collar
Chooses tailored blazers over trends
Attends festive evenings in Kanjeevaram or Banarasi and understands proportion
Believes jewellery should feel like armour, not accessory
 
On a minimalist black dress, it becomes modern sculpture.
With Indian festive wear, it becomes regal.
With crisp white linen, it becomes effortless power.
 
It frames the face.
It lifts posture.
It changes how a woman carries herself.
