Francoise Montague Spun Cotton Pearl Choker
About the Item
Francoise Montague took over the De Saurma jewelry workshop in the late 1940s. Her mother founded the workshop in 1945, according to "Costume Jewelry for Haute Couture" by Florence Muller. The established business included a global clientele and boutique in Paris. After Montague took over, her most important clients were Nina Ricci and Franck & Fils. Early jewelry by Montague, according to Muller, “is recognizable in the abundant use of enamel and iridescent glass beads." However, these pieces are unmarked and are often difficult to identify correctly. Montague continued to work the business through the 1950s and '60s, earning accolades, including the Grand Prix des Creations de Bijouterie Fantaisie in 1961 and maintaining a loyal clientele. Marion Stern took over the business in 1978 and still oversees the Francoise Montague workshop in Paris. The company pared down its staff considerably during the 1990s. It rebounded in the 2000s by adding many new designs to its couture jewelry portfolio and building on old standards .

South Sea Pearl Necklace Diamond Clasp Design by Ella Gafter
By Ella Gafter
Located in New York, NY
The South Sea pearl choker necklace is composed of 27 large pearls originating from the waters of Northwestern Australia. The pearls are smoothly graduated from 17-12mm. They feature thick nacre, a beautiful pearl-white color and a splendid lustre. The pearls were extracted from Pinctada Maxima shells (“silver-lipped mother of pearl”). They have not been dyed, bleached or treated in any way with chemical or other artificial processes that could cause their natural color or luster to diminish over time.
The strand is held together by a spherical clasp set with 1 carat of top quality diamonds (F/G-VVS).
The last images in the carousel show beautiful ways of combining our South Sea strands with our fine jewelry designs.
Ella Gafter is recognized as one of the world’s leading pearl jewelers. In 2001, an extraordinary corsage brooch by Ella Gafter was one of the very few contemporary pieces included in the American Museum of Natural History’s “Pearls” exhibition, which traveled around the world for 10 years. Recently, Ella has agreed to donate the brooch to their permanent collection; it is now prominently and permanently displayed in the new Hall of Gems and Minerals.
