Please excuse my French
I really just wanted an excuse to use a fancy French word. A long chain often adorned with gemstones or other charms, a sautoir typically (or at least, by definition) has some form of a pendant hanging from it, but the word loosely describes all of the pieces here. Longer necklaces have been rising in popularity again, particularly in the form of chains that can be wrapped multiple times and lengthy chains with dangling pendants. I personally don’t think anything like this will ever truly go out of style, but recent runway appearances have them in the spotlight. They range from subtle with delicate chains adorned in gemstones or more statement with chunky, brightly beaded pieces. No matter which style your customer prefers, she’ll have a timeless piece on her hands with any one of these.
