The ICONIC Necklace is the emblematic piece of the very first ELIE Paris Montreal collection.

The idea for this necklace came about in a rather unusual way when a family necklace accidentally broke. During this little mishap, the end of the broken chain slipped and ended up on the side.

This imperfection was as unexpected as it was original and attractive. So we decided to incorporate it and fully assume it in our design.

The location of the ELIE signature star naturally found its place, suspended at the end of the pendant chain. In order to preserve the balance and aesthetics of the necklace, we decided to incorporate a second ELIE star on the opposite side, sealed into the chain.

The particularity of this jewel also lies in the two-tone character of the links, which offers an interesting visual contrast, in harmony with the two ELIE signature stars, also two-tone. Each ICONIC Necklace is meticulously handmade in Italy, to ensure quality finishes.

Finally, our choice of chain fell on a fairly bold , assertive and genderless mesh, of the forced type. We wanted this piece to be able to adapt to different styles and morphologies, with an adjustable and versatile side. This is why we designed a removable trompe-l'oeil clasp, signed ELIE Paris Montréal.

The ICONIC Necklace can be worn at all times, so that every day is a special event.
