What is the Amalfi Short Necklace by Françoise Montague?
The Amalfi Short Necklace is a choker from the House of Françoise Montague, handmade in the workshop at 231 Rue Saint-Honoré, Paris 1st arrondissement. It is made up of three four-leaf clovers in flame-cast glass paste, with a larger central one, mounted on a strand of pearly glass beads. Available in three colors (Honey Topaz, Sapphire Blue, Transparent Crystal), it is produced in small batches from our Parisian workshop, which has been ongoing since 1945.
Why are the frames of the Amalfi Short Necklace made of copper and not brass?
Copper is the only common metal that can withstand the high temperatures involved in the flame glass paste casting technique. Brass would melt or deform during the process. That is why French haute couture artisans work with copper for glass paste jewelry: it ensures the strength of the setting and the accuracy of the shape. The copper is then plated with 24-carat fine gold by a specialized Parisian goldsmith.
Are the small bubbles in the glass of the Amalfi Necklace defects?
No. The fine air bubbles visible in the glass paste are the inevitable traces of artisanal flame casting. Each piece is cast individually: the bubbles form differently each time, making each clover unique and non-reproducible. They are the signature of the artisanal gesture. An industrial jewel would have none.
Can the Amalfi Short Necklace be worn with other pieces from the Amalfi collection?
Yes. The Amalfi Short Necklace was designed in harmony with the Amalfi Long Necklace and the Amalfi Earrings: same clover pattern, same glass paste, same artisanal technique. The three pieces can be worn together for a complete set, or individually for a more refined look. A private appointment in-store allows you to discover the three colors side by side and create the perfect combination.
Does the House offer tax-free shopping and international shipping for the Amalfi Short Necklace?
Yes. The tax refund service is available in-store at 231 Rue Saint-Honoré, Paris 1st arrondissement, for any customer residing outside the European Union. The Maison offers international shipping with DDP prices (taxes and customs duties included) to the United States and Gulf countries. For customers wishing to see the three colors before their stay in Paris or to reserve an item, a private appointment can be requested by email or via WhatsApp.

Exceptional expertise

In Françoise Montague's creations, the glass is melted at over 800°C with a flame. Our artisans fuse colored glass rods onto a copper framework, shaped by hand.

Small bubbles, slight asymmetries, and veins caused by the torch smoke reveal the handcrafting process. A perfectly smooth and symmetrical piece betrays industrial production.

Since 1945

The house of Françoise Montague was founded in 1945, heir to a Parisian jewelry workshop passed down by her mother. Françoise's style quickly became distinctive and recognizable: enameled and iridescent glass beads, unique craftsmanship, and boundless creativity. Within a few years, the house made a name for itself among lovers of characterful jewelry, staying true to a standard that has never wavered.

In 1978, a new chapter began. At just twenty-one years old, Marion Stern took the reins with the ambition to take the house even further. A visionary, she explored new territories and forged connections beyond borders: as early as 1981, Françoise Montague’s creations reached Asia, the Middle East, and the West. In 1998, she took a decisive step by opening the boutique at 231 rue Saint-Honoré, in the heart of Paris’s fashion and luxury district.

Today, the story continues. In June 2023, I joined the adventure in turn. My name is Rebecca Mamou-Stern, and with my engineer’s perspective and all the expertise passed down before me, I bring this house to life, between heritage and modernity. Every creation that leaves the workshop extends this story and writes it a little further.
