Is the Charlotte necklace a unique model?
Yes. The Charlotte necklace is available in a single piece in this color. Each piece is handmade in our Parisian workshop with vintage glass beads and individually selected glass paste. No identical reproduction is possible once the piece is sold.
What are the vintage glass beads used in this necklace?
Vintage glass beads are beads made before the 1980s, often in Central Europe (Czech Republic, Austria) using artisanal techniques that are now extinct or very rare. Their color is blown into the material and does not fade over time.
Is the Charlotte necklace signed?
Yes. The Charlotte necklace is signed Françoise Montague on the back, following the tradition of haute couture pieces. This signature commits the House to the origin, craftsmanship, and material of the jewelry. It places the piece in the lineage of Françoise Montague creations since 1945, giving it its heritage significance.
How to care for a glass bead necklace?
The weight of the necklace puts strain on the threading over time. To preserve the piece, remove it before showering, exercising, and going to bed. Store it flat in its case, without leaving it hanging. Avoid direct contact of perfume with the pearls. If the thread shows signs of wear, our workshop at 231 Rue Saint-Honoré offers restringing services, one of the services we have provided since 1945 to keep jewelry lasting over time.
Can we see the Charlotte necklace in the store before purchasing it?
Yes. Our workshop store at 231 Rue Saint-Honoré, Paris 1st arrondissement, is open Monday to Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., just steps from Place Vendôme. A private appointment can be arranged upon request for a personalized presentation. For our international customers, tax refund is offered in-store and shipping is provided with taxes and customs duties included (DDP) to the United States and Gulf countries.

Unique expertise 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.
