A beautifully simple Lalique heart, this Amoureuse Beaucoup pendant is formed in smoky grey glass with a softly rounded, sculptural surface and a deep heart silhouette. The grey has enough translucency to show the depth of the glass without losing that wonderfully moody charcoal tone, while the polished gold-tone bail gives it a neat flash of contrast.
It hangs from its original-style black twisted silk cord, giving the pendant plenty of length and allowing the glass heart to sit as the focal point. There is something particularly good about jewellery that does not need fussing with, and this works just as well against a crisp white shirt as it does over a fine knit, a silk blouse or the neckline of a favourite dress.
Try it against emerald, raspberry or cobalt for a stronger colour combination, or keep things pared back with dove grey, cream or chocolate. The black cord also makes it an easy piece to layer with a shorter gold chain without everything becoming too busy.

DESIGNER INFORMATION: Founded by René Lalique, Lalique has a celebrated history in both jewellery and glassmaking dating back to the late 19th century. René Lalique became known for bringing materials such as glass into fine jewellery design, and the house continues that tradition today.
