Charenton Choker Necklace

Regular price 440 €

Color: White

The Charenton is our new favorite. A choker that captures the spirit of the Mabrouk with its architecture of washers encircling the neck, pushing it in a new direction: more graphic, more sculptural, decidedly art deco.

Its cobra pattern flows with a precision that recalls the golden age of 1930s jewelry. Light to wear, striking to look at.

Hand-assembled in our Parisian workshop at 231 Rue Saint-Honoré, the Charenton blends pearlescent beads and rhinestone washers in a balance of softness and sparkle, available in 9 color combinations to find the one that suits you.

  • Lightweight
  • Versatile
  • Available in many color combinations
  • Pairs perfectly with the Charenton earrings
What is the inspiration behind the Charenton necklace?
Its first inspiration is our classic Mabrouk model, revisited here with Art Deco influences and a cobra silhouette. A single-row creation, light as air, that adapts just as easily to everyday outfits as to special occasions.
What distinguishes Charenton from the Mabrouk Necklace?
Charenton is the Art Deco cobra version of the Mabrouk: a more discreet silhouette, a more modern frame, a graphic spirit. The Mabrouk Necklace stays true to the iconic vintage design.
How is this necklace made?
It is made of brass carefully gilded with 24-carat gold by a Parisian gilding specialist. Pearly beads and glass beads carefully selected, and high-quality Swarovski rhinestone spacers.
Does the store offer tax refund for this necklace?
Yes. Tax refund in-store at 231 Rue Saint-Honoré for customers outside the European Union. DDP shipping to the United States and Gulf countries.
What is the difference between a Françoise Montague couture jewelry piece and a classic costume jewelry piece?
A Françoise Montague couture jewel is designed and handmade in a Parisian workshop by skilled artisans, using noble materials: 24-carat fine gold-plated brass, crystal, glass paste, mother-of-pearl. Each piece comes from artisanal production that excludes industrial manufacturing and is signed on the back. The House has maintained this level of excellence since 1945. Mass-market jewelry relies on mass production, common materials, and a lack of artisanal traceability.

Portrait Françoise Montague colorées bijoux fantaisie de luxe paris

Unique expertise since 1945

In 1945, Françoise Montague gave her name to a workshop founded ten years earlier by her mother. A name that is also a vow: that of her first husband, who died in the Resistance. Each piece of jewelry carries this legacy — that of a woman who refused to be forgotten, choosing instead the eternity of style.

In 1978, Marion Stern took over the reins of the House at twenty-one years old. Her ambition: to confront Parisian craftsmanship with the world. From 1981, Françoise Montague creations crossed borders. In 1998, the boutique at 231 Rue Saint-Honoré became the anchor point of this vision.

In June 2023, Rebecca Mamou-Stern wrote a new chapter in this family legacy. Her engineer’s perspective puts technique at the service of a demanding aesthetic. The past guarantees accuracy. The future shapes the style.

The art of giving

Each piece is presented in a signature case, hand-sealed with our wax seal bearing the House's coat of arms. This ancestral gesture, borrowed from the codes of private correspondence and great fashion houses, transforms each package into a precious object even before it is opened.
