Nought Chain Sautoir – Silver, Hematite and Carnelian

What

This Nought Chain Sautoir is part of the Infinity collection.

It mixes chain sections with barres of gemstones to create a lovely rythm and flow.

Secured by a sleek hook clasp that allows you to wear it wrapped twice around your neck if you want.

Strictly speaking, this necklace is part of the Infinity collection that focuses on the symbolism of the round shape. You can indeed pair if with any other pieces from that collection.

However it can also complement the delightful Graphic Rose Cocktail Earrings that are available under the Mystery collection.

Who for

For anyone who is an admirer of the 1920s era, with a keen eye for quality and is looking for a piece of jewellery that has style but also is versatile.

With this sautoir necklace you will experience the luxury of handmade chains combined with the elegance of statement neckpieces.

It elongates the silhouette in a very flattering and sophisticated fashion.

You can wear this chain necklace all day long and just forget about it. It wraps beautifully around your collar, is incredibly soft and lightweight.

It is one of those jewellery wardrobe pieces that you will want to invest in!

How to wear it

The colour combination of metallic charcoal grey and luminous juicy orangey red makes this necklace suitable for every season. I have purposely used the red colour of the faceted carnelian as a leading thread throughout the necklace and create a rythm as the eye travels along the different sections of the chain necklace.

It is approx 1.05m long! giving you plenty of options to wear. You can wear it extra long and layer it with other shorter necklaces. You can also wrap it twice around your neck. There again you have 2 choices, either keep the 2 strands of similar lenght or wear one strand shorter and one longer. See pictures for styling ideas.

You can even fold it in a pouch in your handbag so that you have it at hand whenever you need that instant uplift.

As mentioned above, you can pair this necklace with any piece from the Nought range but also with the striking Graphic Rose Cocktail Earrings for a more dressed-up look.

Materials & their benefits

Handforged using solid sterling silver and natural quality hematite and carnelian stones.

The stone beads have been thread onto silver wire. That way you won’t risk stretching the necklace, especially when cleaning it – see Care section below. It also gives the necklace more personality in its movement and flow.

Hematite has very strong grounding energy. It also has a cooling and calming effect, as well as helps develop concentration and focus. It is a zodiac stone for Aries and Aquarius.

Carnelian is a stabilising stone that restores vitality and motivation, and stimulates creativity. It helps in trusting yourself and your perceptions. Carnelian is a zodiac stone for Virgo.

Silver provides a steadying influence. It performs a balancing act by drawing negativity from the body while transferring the positive energies of other minerals.

Size

approx 105cm long.

Care

Dos

As with any piece of jewellery, when you don’t wear it, keep it in a box or pouch, ideally separate from your other jewellery to avoid scratches.

Safe to clean at home yourself – simply wash with lukewarm water and mild soap. Leave to soak a couple of minutes. Do not scrub or rub. The dirt will fall off at the bottom of the container. Rinse under clear lukewarn water. Pat dry with a soft clean cloth and leave to dry completely before wearing again, or storing.

Donts

Do not scrub or rub as this will affect the surface of the metal.

Avoid putting makeup and other beauty products after putting your jewellery on, as residues will build up in the little recesses, making it more difficult to clean.
