The Alpine Chain

Look closely and the fringe necklace gives itself away as Retro: large citrines, the honey gold more honest than anything cut today, held by bold sculpted volume. It is finished on the inside as carefully as on the face, where no one would ever look. A dealer we trust brought it down from a family near Lyon, kept in a bank drawer far longer than it was ever worn. It is the kind of thing you buy once and never think to replace.
