The reading - The choker

Under the golden sky, a brass necklace shines,
Each link tells a tale of passion's signs,
The gentle embrace around the neck so true,
An eternal bond, love in jewelry's view.

Minimalist in design, the Maillon choker necklace plays with two tones of gold, combining circular links with a round brass clasp. Its components are crafted in Italy and assembled in Paris at the Virginie Voncken workshop. This jewelry piece, with its sleek graphic strength, brings a contemporary touch to both casual and formal attire. It can be worn in two ways: with the clasp visible at the front or at the back of the neck. Available in limited quantities and made to order.

To preserve the brilliance of Maillon, avoid exposing your jewelry to water, perfume, skincare products, or makeup. Clean it with a soft cloth, such as a chamois, and store it away from light when not wearing it. If Maillon loses its shine over time, you can revive its brilliance with a brass cleaning product. This is the enduring advantage of this material.

The necklace measures 45 cm in length, 14 mm in width at the link, and 33 mm at the clasp.

All jewelry is hand-crafted in Paris, upon request, using locally sourced components. Occasionally, a small stock may be available in the boutique, always in reasonable quantities to minimize resource waste.

All new components used in the jewelry are primarily sourced from Italy. The 14-carat Gold Field chains, rings, and earring clasps on brass base are procured from jewelry wholesalers in Paris and are exclusively manufactured in the United States. Natural pearls are sourced in Paris and come from various international origins.

Upcycled components are curated in France.

NATURAL PACKAGING

IT & FR

NATURAL PACKAGING

All my packaging is natural, locally made, dye-free, and kept to the essentials.

Clothing items are protected by French-made tissue paper. This is sealed with an embossed adhesive sticker without ink, made from German paper composed of 50% straw residues and 50% wood pulp, certified by FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), ensuring they come from sustainably managed forests.

Jewelry boxes are made in Italy and embossed in France. They are made of cardboard covered with paper made from recycled fibers. They are closed with an undyed cotton and viscose ribbon, either with a bow or with upcycled elastic.

Depending on their size, some jewelry pieces are placed in natural, undyed linen pouches, closed with a mother-of-pearl button or an organic cotton cord, made in France or Europe. Orders can be shipped using two systems: in recycled, FSC-certified cardboard boxes made in France or Europe; or in reusable zero-waste containers from the HIPLI company, which can be reused more than 100 times, when appropriate.

LITTE STORY ABOUT MAILLON

How to reinvent the pearl necklace?

I wanted to give it a dual function: both as a neckpiece and jean jewelry, using two clasps. I paired large baroque pearls with an imposing XL chain, reminiscent of those found in marinas. I sought a balance between strength and delicacy.

To tie it all together, I sourced small round mother-of-pearl beads from a flea market.
