“Great Occasions” series – The Templar Casket.

The Essence of Matter.

Created for those not afraid to wear their personality, the Great Occasions necklace is a triumph of “old-fashioned” craftsmanship. At 292 grams of substance, this French demirouge alloy creation embodies a magnificence of yesteryear. Thick gilding in 14 KT Gold, antiqued and kiln-passed at 180°, gives the metal that noble patina that only museum pieces can give off.

Technical and Craft Details.

* Multi-strand architecture: A cascade of classic, solid, flowing “snake” chains flowing into two majestic oval terminals.

* The Heart of the Piece (The Barrel): The ends are welded into a 2.5 x 4 cm“cassette” structure. A masterpiece of micro-architecture where a teardrop inlay encloses a geometric flower, evoking the mosaics of ancient cathedrals.

* The Drawer Closure: A solid and visible safety mechanism where the toggle engages precisely in an oval-edged rectangular housing, ensuring that the jewel remains secure to the neckline.

* Points of Light: Crystals in Garnet Red (Garnet ) and White Crystal colors, set by hand to totally surround the ovals, visible from all angles (360°).

* Golden Rule: Avoid contact with perfumes, hairsprays and body creams.

* Cleaning: Soft dry cloth only.

* Storage: Always store in the velvet bag after use, away from sources of moisture and chemicals.

How to Wear it: The Rule of Magnificence.

* The Royal Support: The 64 cm “longuette” length is designed to lie flat on noble fabrics. Perfect over a fluid silk blouse or high-end shaved cashmere.

* Protected Elegance: Ideal for the lady who wants to feel “dressed up” and flawless: it goes masterfully with a Twin Set buttonless jacket, where the necklace becomes the focal point that seals the outfit.

* The Creative Wear (Power Look): For a sculptural presence, it can be worn with the barrels resting on the shoulders, letting the multi-strand structure slip over the neckline and back, highlighting the stability and consistency of the all-around jewel.

* Note to Intendant: The handwork is also visible on the back, where the “noble coarseness” of the hand-welded metal guarantees the absence of mass industrial production.

🛡️ Q&O: Jewel Transparency, Safety and Care.

Question: I suffer from allergies, can I wear this necklace with confidence?

Answer: Our French demirouge alloy is totally nickel-free. Thick gilding in 14 KT Gold is protected by a 180° oven-baked varnish, which creates a barrier between the metal and the leather. However, out of utmost honesty in craftsmanship, we would like to inform you that if your allergy is specific to gold or its binders, the protective coating may not be sufficient. This is a solid, textured piece designed for those who seek the substance of the noble materials of yesteryear.

Question: I am concerned that such an important and heavy piece will be damaged during transportation. How will it travel?

Answer: Your necklace will travel in Total Security. Each piece of “Great Occasions” is shipped in an Insured VIP Package, the cost of which is borne entirely by us. The jewelry is not simply “boxed and gone”: it is protected in a highly transparent polypropylene envelope (crystal effect) to preserve its brilliance and placed in a soft heavy velvet pouch. All in a necklace gift box to ensure that you are the first person to touch the artifact after the final quality check in the lab.

Question: The necklace is very heavy (almost 300gr), do I risk it coming loose or the soldering failing?

Answer: Absolutely not. The structure was tested during the 2025 Parade precisely to verify its stability. Each strand of the “snake” chain is individually welded inside the oval barrel. The drawer lock with safety toggle is a solid mechanical mechanism designed to support the weight of the material effortlessly. It is an “armor of light” made to last for generations.

Question: How should I clean my necklace so as not to ruin the thick gilding? Answer: Maintenance is so simple, precisely because the quality of the materials is so high. To revive the luster of the gold and crystals, simply wipe with a soft, strictly lint-free cloth (like the microfiber ones for glasses). Never use chemicals, ultrasonics or abrasive pastes: the 180° baked-on varnish already protects the jewelry, you just need to gently remove any fingerprints or dust.

Question: Where is it best to store it when I am not wearing it?

Answer: The number one enemy of material jewelry is accidental rubbing against other objects. My advice is to always store it in the heavy velvet pouch we give you with your purchase. The velvet acts as a protective casket, preventing scratches and insulating the brass from excessive moisture. Treat your necklace like the museum piece it is, and it will remain perfect for generations.

Question: Can I wear the perfume together with the necklace?

Answer: This is an ironclad rule to preserve the magnificence of brass: Never spray perfume directly on the jewel or on the skin where it will rest. The chemicals and alcohol in perfumes are highly corrosive to handcrafted gilding. My advice is to perfume at least 10 to 15 minutes before wearing the necklace, making sure the leather is perfectly dry. It is a small gesture that will ensure your “Great Occasions” will shine intact for decades.
