A drop falls below the lobe, and the length is the point: it draws a line down toward the jaw and moves when you do. Solise makes four. Lienne's two threads cross three times on the way down; Fronde fans five ribs from a single stem; Aile crosses two arches around three windows of light; and Sillage, the longest, parts two curves around a channel of air. Each comes in rhodium-finished 930 sterling silver or 2.5-micron gold vermeil.

Two threads, crossed
Derived from the French concept of the bond: two individual threads entwined in an inseparable embrace.
Five ribs, four channels
Named after the spreading, divided leaf of botany and the carved foliate scroll of classical architecture.
Two arches, three windows
Named after the French word for wing, and the way the layers of a wing overlap in flight.
Two curves, never touching
Named after the French word for the trail a vessel leaves in the water, or the trace of scent that lingers after someone has passed.
Length frames the face, so a drop does most when there is room around it: hair pulled back, a bare neck, an open or collarless line.
Choose by length. Fronde stays compact at under 22 millimetres, Aile falls 33, and Lienne and Sillage reach past 41, toward the collarbone.
A long piece is a statement even when it is fine, so let it be the only one. A drop and a necklace compete for the same space; a drop and a bare neck do not.
It moves as you do, which is what makes it an evening piece for many people. It wears just as well by day, with a shirt open at the collar.
Every piece is 930 sterling silver, above the 925 standard, nickel-free and hypoallergenic. The silver is finished in rhodium; the vermeil is 2.5 microns of gold over the same sterling. How each one wears, and how to keep it, is written out in full.
