There is something unmistakably confident about matte gold.
Signed Vendôme, this mid-century double-strand necklace balances texture and polish with deliberate precision. Substantial 9.7 mm matte-finished gold beads create structure and depth, while delicate polished 3.15 mm spacers introduce light and contrast between each form.
The result is not flashy — it is controlled glamour.
Two graduated strands (23” and 25”) create a natural layered drape that frames the neckline without bulk. The signed Vendôme box clasp completes the piece with couture-level construction, reinforcing the pedigree of Coro’s luxury division.
This is refined 1960s Vendôme — dimensional, composed, and enduring.
