The Chéri necklace

A subtle variation on the Présage necklace, this piece of jewellery stands out for its slightly more modern look that takes nothing away from its natural charm. With the Chéri necklace, the setting is more discreet, accentuating the impression of a weightless diamond. Undeniably elegant, the Chéri necklace stands out as one of the strong pieces in the Évidence collection.
