Sautoir Necklace

The sautoir necklace became widely popular in the 18th century when French aristocrats elevated these neckpieces to symbols of prestige and status. During this time, sautoir necklaces were often crafted from expensive materials such as gold, silver, and pearls.
The term “sautoir” comes from French, where it translates to “jumper”, alluding to the graceful movement of this long necklace.
Typically, a sautoir necklace features woven or twisted ropes of pearls or gemstones with dangling tassels, paired with geometric diamond and gem-decked designs, often of Art Deco inspiration
