Y-shapeGold-tone metal
The CONSTANCE necklace is a piece of great simplicity, and that is precisely where its charm lies. On a fine gold-tone metal chain, a small ring allows the chain to pass through, falling in a straight line down to a vertical bar. This assembly, inspired by the lariat necklace, creates an elegant "Y" shape on the décolleté: the ring marks the meeting point, while the bar extends the movement downwards. The CONSTANCE can be tucked under an open shirt collar, laid over a fine knit sweater, or used to elevate a V-neck dress, always with the same discretion. Its clean lines make it a piece for everyday wear, from the office to the weekend, but it can also be layered with a shorter necklace for a refined, multi-strand effect. Its gold hue warms up dark outfits as well as neutral tones, and matches naturally with your other gold-tone jewelry, including watches. A jewelry box essential, both sober and luminous.
The lariat necklace
A piece of jewelry without a fixed pendant
The lariat is a necklace whose chain is not closed in a loop around a fixed pendant, but passes through a ring or knot to hang freely. Its name comes from the Spanish word for lasso: like one, it forms a loop that tightens. The result is a very flattering Y-shape that elongates the neck and follows the line of the décolleté.
The CONSTANCE uses this principle with a gold-tone metal ring and bar. The gold color brings light near the face, and the fineness of the chain keeps the necklace light. Like all fashion jewelry, it should be preserved by avoiding water, perfume, and cosmetics.

The CONSTANCE design
The entire design of the CONSTANCE relies on two shapes: the circle and the line. The ring, positioned at the sternum, acts as an anchor point; the bar, at the end of the chain, extends the line downwards like a final touch.
This contrast between a round shape and a straight shape gives the necklace a graphic look, in the spirit of minimalist jewelry that you wear every day without thinking. On bare skin or a plain garment, the gold line stands out clearly and draws the eye towards the face.
Wearing and caring for the CONSTANCE
1
Fasten the necklace around your neck, with the ring centered at your sternum.
2
Let the bar fall straight under the ring to draw the Y-shape.
3
Choose the neckline: V-necks, open shirts, or open necklines best highlight the vertical line.
4
Store it flat in a pouch, chain unrolled, away from humidity, to avoid knots and tarnishing.
Good to know: the Y-shape of the lariat is particularly flattering on V-necklines, which it visually extends. With a round or high collar, prefer to wear it over the garment so that the bar remains visible.
Style tip: for successful layering, pair the CONSTANCE with a very fine short chain or a small round pendant in the same gold-tone shade. The two different lengths create depth without overloading.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a lariat necklace?
A lariat necklace is a necklace whose chain does not enclose a fixed pendant, but passes through a ring or loop to hang freely downwards. The name comes from the lasso, from which it takes the principle of the loop. This results in a very flattering Y-shaped silhouette that elongates the neck and follows the line of the décolleté. The CONSTANCE uses this idea with a ring that serves as a meeting point and a vertical bar that finishes the chain, for a graphic and light look.
What material is the CONSTANCE necklace made of?
The CONSTANCE necklace is made of gold-tone metal. This finish provides a warm and luminous shade that is very easy to combine with other gold-tone jewelry, a watch, or earrings. As this is fashion jewelry, it appreciates being kept away from water, sweat, perfume, and creams, which can tarnish the finish over time. Stored dry in a pouch, it retains its gold shine and the fineness of its chain longer.
What outfit should I wear the CONSTANCE with?
The CONSTANCE can be worn with almost anything. It is particularly beautiful on a V-neckline, which it extends, and on an open shirt, where the bar tucks into the neckline. On a fine sweater or a round-neck t-shirt, wear it over the garment to keep the vertical line visible. At the office, it adds a touch of discreet femininity; in the evening, it elegantly accompanies a black dress. Its sobriety also allows it to be combined with other fine necklaces for a layered effect.
Can it be layered with other necklaces?
Yes, the CONSTANCE lends itself very well to layering. Pair it with a very fine short chain or a small round pendant worn close to the neck: the two lengths create depth without overloading. Stay in the same gold-tone shade for a harmonious result and prefer chains of similar fineness. Avoid layering multiple Y-necklaces, which risk getting tangled and blurring the vertical line that makes the CONSTANCE so charming.
How do I care for the necklace?
Remove the necklace before showering, swimming, sports, and sleeping, and apply perfume, cream, or hairspray before putting it on. To clean it, gently run a soft, dry cloth over the chain, ring, and bar, without abrasive products or harsh jewelry cleaners. Store it with the chain unrolled, alone in a pouch or compartment, away from humidity. These few steps avoid knots, scratches, and tarnishing of the gold-tone finish.
Does the CONSTANCE exist in silver?
Currently, the CONSTANCE necklace is offered in gold color only, in gold-tone metal. If you prefer silver-tone jewelry, discover other models from our collection with a similar graphic style, such as bar necklaces available in a silver finish. The gold-tone of the CONSTANCE remains a sure bet, however: it warms the complexion, matches dark outfits as well as neutral tones, and easily pairs with the gold-tone watches and bracelets worn daily.
Is it a good gift idea?
Yes, the CONSTANCE is an ideal gift for pleasing someone without risk. Its minimalist style appeals to the greatest number, its gold-tone metal matches all outfits, and its soft price makes it a lovely gesture for a thank you, a colleague, a friend, or Mother's Day. For a more generous gift, pair it with a fine bracelet or a gold-tone watch from our selection: you will compose a coherent set, ready to be worn from the first day.
