The story: Very fashionable in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the scarf coulant is designed to hold and adjust scarves, ties and other fabrics tied around the neck. Initially associated with masculine elegance, it quickly became a real jewel, made of gold and sometimes adorned with fine stones, engraved patterns or symbolic decorations. More practical than a pin, it allows the fabric to slide while bringing a precious touch to the outfit. This old scarf flower, now transformed into a pendant, thus finds a new function while retaining the character and refinement of this jewel once worn differently but always around the neck.
