How is the Powers Sautoir worn as a jewelry belt?
The Powers Sautoir measures 80 cm, a length calibrated for triple use. Worn singly, it falls along the bust. Doubled around the neck, it tightens into two distinct strands. As a jewelry belt, it ties or drapes at the waist or hips, over a flowing dress, a structured blazer, or a high-waisted skirt. It is this third use that makes the Powers a wardrobe piece, not just a piece of jewelry. A private appointment at the workshop at 231 Rue Saint-Honoré allows you to see each configuration in a real-life setting.
Are the rhinestones of the Powers Sautoir of good quality?
Yes. The washers of the Powers Sautoir are made of high-quality crystal, selected for the consistency of its cut and the purity of its sparkle. This level of material requirement is one of the criteria that distinguishes a Françoise Montague haute couture jewel from a mass-produced accessory. The tassel pendant cascade of individually mounted crystals in gradient showcases this expertise: each rhinestone washer is hand-positioned in our workshop at 231 Rue Saint-Honoré, following the same technique passed down in the House since 1945.
What is the difference between the Sapphire color and the Nude color?
The Sapphire color combines washers in deep blue and navy shades with transparent crystals, creating a strong and assertive presence that stands out against a dark solid background or formal attire. It is the version for those who confidently make an entrance. The Nude color (ivory and opaline, gold metal) is more luminous than discreet: it softly captures the light and matches a wider variety of tones. It is the version for special occasions when you want to shine without competing with the outfit. Both colors share exactly the same level of artisanal craftsmanship. To choose, a private appointment at the workshop allows you to try both on display.
Can the Powers Sautoir be gifted for a prestigious occasion like a wedding or an anniversary?
The Powers Sautoir is a piece from Maison idéale perfect for gifting on special occasions, precisely because it combines several rare qualities: a strong visual presence (the tassel pendant is immediately noticed), versatile wear (necklace or jewelry belt), and a level of artisanal craftsmanship that can be seen and felt by hand. Each piece is delivered in the signature Françoise Montague case, hand-sealed with our wax seal, a ceremonial gesture that transforms the packaging into a precious object even before it is opened.
Does the House offer tax-free shopping and secure international shipping for the Powers Necklace?
Yes. The tax refund service is offered in-store at 231 Rue Saint-Honoré, Paris 1st arrondissement, for any customer residing outside the European Union, including customers from Gulf countries and North America. International shipments are handled DDP (taxes and customs included) to the United States and Gulf countries: no additional fees upon receipt. Delivery is provided by DHL Express (2 to 5 days depending on the destination). For exceptional pieces like the Powers Sautoir, reinforced packaging is systematically used. A private appointment can be arranged in-store for customers visiting Paris.

Portrait Françoise Montague colorées bijoux fantaisie de luxe paris

A unique knowledge since 1945

Our story begins in 1935, with a small jewelry workshop founded by Françoise Montague's mother. Ten years later, in 1945, the brand took the name it is known by today. Very quickly, its style stood out: enameled and iridescent glass beads, unique craftsmanship, and limitless creativity.

Then in 1978, a new chapter, a new breath. At just 21 years old, Marion Stern took the reins with the desire to make the house shine even further. A visionary, she explored new horizons and from 1981, Françoise Montague creations flew to Asia, the East, and the West. In 1998, she opened the boutique at 231 Rue Saint-Honoré!

And 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 know-how passed down before me, I bring this beautiful house to life, between heritage and modernity.
