Pearl Beads

The pearly pearl is the most discreet and powerful material in couture jewelry. It casts light without reflecting it, signs without shouting, accompanies without dominating. It is the material of classic styles and silent boldness.

A material, a couture heritage

The great Parisian houses have made the pearly pearl one of their signatures: the Chanel sautoir, the Dior drop, the Lanvin choker. Françoise Montague continues this tradition by working the pearl in all its forms — baroque, round, drop-shaped — according to the design of each piece.

The workshop as architect

Each pearl is selected one by one for its orient, roundness, and depth of color. It is then drilled, knotted, or set according to the composition. The accompanying metal is gold-plated with fine gold by our Parisian master gilder. The result is a piece where the ornament yields to the material itself.

For those who sign with material

A Françoise Montague pearly pearl is kept for the days that matter and worn on all others as well. It is one of the most reliably passed-down pieces in our catalog: from mother to daughter, daughter to her own daughter.
