Long necklaceBlack or burgundy
The FLORA necklace belongs to the long necklace family—those long chains that fall to the bust and create a single, clean line for your silhouette. On a black tight-link chain, two elements complement each other: a tapered faceted bar, wide at the top and pointed at the bottom, and a polished gold sphere that sits nestled against it. The contrast between the angular shape and the shiny sphere is what gives this piece its character. The bar comes in two colors, deep black or wine-colored burgundy, both paired with the same gold sphere. The necklace is made of metal alloy. Worn over a thin sweater, a solid-colored dress, or a button-down shirt, FLORA visually lengthens the silhouette and adds a graphic, slightly retro touch that is enough to dress up a simple outfit. It’s the kind of piece you put on last, right before heading out, and it changes everything.
Two colors
Black
Black bar
The most graphic: deep black and a gold sphere.
Burgundy
Burgundy bar
A warm wine-colored shade, more autumnal.
In both versions, the chain is black and the sphere is gold: only the color of the bar changes.
Material
A metal alloy necklace
FLORA is made of metal alloy, which is a blend of several metals. This is the base for the vast majority of fashion jewelry: the alloy allows for the production of intricate shapes, like the polished sphere or the tight-link chain, while keeping it at an affordable price.
The black, gold, or burgundy finishes are surface-applied. They provide the color but remain sensitive to repeated friction, water, and cosmetics. A few simple steps, detailed below, are enough to preserve their shine over time.

The FLORA spirit
FLORA plays on a simple opposition: geometric versus round. The bar, cut into facets, tapers to a point like a crystal or an arrow; the perfectly smooth sphere brings roundness and a golden reflection that softens the overall look.
This dialogue of shapes evokes a 1970s aesthetic revisited with sobriety. Suspended from a black chain, the pendant stands out clearly against light-colored clothing, while against a dark outfit, it is the gold sphere that takes over and catches the eye.
Wearing the FLORA necklace
1
Slip the necklace over your head and let the pendant rest on your bust.
2
Choose a solid-colored top with a high neckline (turtleneck, crew neck, buttoned shirt) to show off the pendant.
3
Play with contrast: black color on light-colored clothing, burgundy on gray, beige, or camel.
4
Remove it before sleeping or exercising, and store it with the chain laid out to prevent tangles.

Good to know: FLORA is a long necklace, also known as a sautoir: the pendant is not worn as a choker but at the top of the bust. It pairs especially well with closed-neckline clothing.
Style tip: In winter, wear FLORA over a thin solid-colored turtleneck; in summer, over a shirt dress. No need to add another necklace: its length and gold sphere are enough to make the look.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a long necklace/sautoir?
A long necklace (sautoir) is a long necklace that drops to the bust, much lower than a choker or a standard chain. It is usually slipped over the head and creates a vertical line that lengthens the silhouette. The FLORA necklace is a fine example: its long black chain carries a pendant that settles at the top of the bust. This type of jewelry is worn mainly over clothes with a closed neckline, such as a turtleneck or a buttoned shirt, where it stands out clearly and effortlessly structures the outfit.
What material is the FLORA necklace made of?
The FLORA necklace is made of metal alloy, the base material for most fashion jewelry. The colors of the chain, the bar, and the sphere are achieved through surface finishes: black, burgundy, and gold. This choice allows us to offer a piece with an intricate design at an affordable price. In return, these finishes require minimal attention: avoid water, perfumes, and repeated friction, and store the necklace separately so it maintains its original appearance as long as possible.
What is the difference between black and burgundy?
Only the color of the tapered bar changes. The black color gives a very graphic and timeless look: it goes with everything and stands out strongly against light-colored clothing. The burgundy color, a deep wine-red, is warmer and adds a touch of color, ideal in autumn and winter with gray, beige, camel, or denim. In both cases, the chain remains black and the sphere polished gold: the characteristic contrast of FLORA is preserved.
How can I pair it with my outfits?
FLORA shows itself best against a solid-colored top. On a thin sweater, turtleneck, or light-colored dress, the black or burgundy bar creates a sharp focal point. On a dark outfit, it is the gold sphere that catches the eye. Avoid layering it with other long necklaces: this sautoir is enough on its own. You can, however, pair it with discreet earrings and a gold bracelet to echo the sphere. Whether at the office or for an evening out, it adds a touch of character to a simple outfit.
Is the necklace heavy?
The pendant is more substantial than a simple charm, since it combines an elongated bar and a sphere, but it remains reasonable for a long necklace. As it rests on the bust and not the back of the neck, its weight is naturally distributed and the necklace can be worn comfortably for several hours. If you are used to very thin chains, you will feel its presence at first, then quickly forget it. Just remember to remove it for physical activities, where the pendant could swing and hit a surface.
How do I care for the FLORA necklace?
To preserve the finishes, wipe the necklace after each wear with a soft, dry cloth, focusing on the gold sphere which easily shows fingerprints. Do not use water, cleaning products, or polishing cream. Apply perfume, hairspray, and cream before putting on the jewelry, never after. Store it separately in a pouch or box, with the chain fully extended, to avoid tangles and scratches. These simple steps are enough to keep FLORA beautiful for many seasons.
Is FLORA a good gift?
Yes, especially for someone who likes jewelry with character. Its long format and contrast of shapes distinguish it from more common fine necklaces. It is a gift appreciated for a birthday, Christmas, Mother's Day, or to thank a colleague. Its accessible price makes it suitable for giving on its own or as a complement to another gift. If you are unsure about the color, black is the most versatile; burgundy will delight those who love warm shades and enjoy wearing color.
