THE CARCAN NECKLACE

The centerpiece of Reza's Renaissance-themed creations is undoubtedly the carcan, created as a tribute to the famous jewel commissioned by François I for Queen Claude of France. Popular in the latter half of the sixteenth century, the carcan, or carcanet, was a band of jewels that snugly encircled the neck, sometimes worn over a high, ornate collar. It largely replaced the earlier heavy necklaces of the period that spread across the chest and shoulders.

REFERENCES SOURCED FROM THE BIBLIOTHÈQUE NATIONALE DE FRANCE

Alexandre Reza went to extraordinary lengths to recreate this iconic French jewel, meticulously replicating the spontaneous look of the gold ropework knots and the arrangement of pearl clusters. He even matched the gold’s weight to the original inventory’s specifications and set superb quality diamonds upside down to mirror the appearance of early cuts, while still delivering modern brilliance and fire.
