After the French Revolution, fundraising parties were held to support the surviving nobles: at these grand events, women would wear red necklaces, to symbolize the telltale signature of the guillotine.
There is nothing quite as arresting as an exquisite red necklace. Along with the fact that red can suit any skin tone, from the richest of ebonies to the creamiest of alabasters, it is also the colour of jewellery that is hardest to find. Why? There is a range of reasons: one would be that of all tints of glass, red is the most expensive to create, as it requires gold to make red shades. Another would be that coral, a component that appears in a lot of red jewellery, is strictly protected by the environmental authorities. Either way, this gorgeous jewellery is difficult to obtain, for both the wearer and the creator.
Celebrating red, the color of fire, of passion, of love, of danger and everything in between, here is the first of our collection: Blackheart. the Rose
