{"product_id":"gas-bijoux-necklace-cbia-scaramouche-ox-240-mother-of-pearl","title":"GAS BIJOUX | Scaramouche Scarab Necklace - Mother-of-Pearl","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt the centre of this necklace sits a scarab, cast in fine gold-plated brass and set with a semi-precious mother-of-pearl stone, its surface hand-traced with fine gold lines that catch the light as it moves. The pendant reads as a small piece of sculpture rather than a mere charm — dense, tactile, with the kind of hand-finished irregularity that signals it was made by someone rather than stamped by a machine. It hangs from a chain built of smooth, ribbed links, alternating textures that give the piece a rhythm along its length rather than a flat, uniform shine.\n\nThe fine gold plating over brass gives the metal warmth and weight without heaviness on the skin — it sits with a cool, substantial feel when first fastened, then settles quickly against the collarbone. The ribbed links catch light differently to the smooth ones, so the chain reads as faceted rather than glossy, closer to hammered goldwork than to a mass-market finish. This contrast in surface is where the craftsmanship shows most: it rewards a closer look, the kind of detail that photographs beautifully but is even better felt between the fingers.\n\nConstruction follows the workshop tradition GAS BIJOUX is known for, each piece hand-assembled in Marseille rather than produced on an anonymous line. That means the scarab's gold detailing and the chain's link pattern carry small variations from piece to piece — proof of hand, not a flaw. The pendant is proportioned to sit centrally at the base of the throat, substantial enough to anchor a plain neckline but not so large that it overwhelms a fine collarbone or a delicate décolletage.\n\nWorn alone, the necklace has enough presence to stand as the only jewellery a look needs — it pairs naturally with an open shirt collar, a simple crew neck, or bare shoulders in warmer months. Layered, it holds its own against finer chains without competition, since the scarab's texture and the ribbed links already do the work of contrast. The mother-of-pearl set into the scarab brings a soft, opalescent counterpoint to the gold, so the piece reads as warm and luminous rather than purely metallic — equally suited to daylight and evening light.\n\nConsider it for the transitional wardrobe: over a linen shirt for daytime, or against bare skin with an evening top when the season turns cooler. Because the design leans artisanal rather than trend-driven, it moves easily between a tailored daytime uniform and a dressed-up evening look without needing to be swapped out — one necklace, doing double duty across the wardrobe, gold catching differently depending on the hour.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GAS BIJOUX","offers":[{"title":"240-MOTHER OF PEARL \/ U","offer_id":41832056979589,"sku":"195 CBIA SCARAMOUCHE OX","price":1590.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0351\/5757\/3765\/files\/GAS_BIJOUX-195_CBIA_SCARAMOUCHE_OX-240-MOTHER_OF_PEARL_01.jpg?v=1787773666","url":"https:\/\/ruemadame.com\/products\/gas-bijoux-necklace-cbia-scaramouche-ox-240-mother-of-pearl","provider":"RUE MADAME | BOUTIQUE PARISIENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
