Necklace

La forêt et la rivière blanche (The forest and the white river)

150,00€

A choker made of wooden beads and slightly irregular white pearls.
They seem to float next to each other.

A small seashell marks the transition between the forest (the wooden beads) and the river (the freshwater pearls).

The magnetic clasp, a pretty silver cylinder, is discreetly visible.

HOW TO WEAR

The necklace should not be tight around the neck but rest elegantly at the base of the neck, or a little lower, as you prefer.

This is a very simple, very pure choker, the chic version of a seashell surfer necklace. It can also be worn layered, by connecting two or three necklaces using their magnetic clasps.

COMPOSITION

Freshwater pearls between 5 and 7 mm and wooden beads, with a silver-finish magnetic brass clasp. Nylon thread.

No two Floté pieces are exactly alike. They are handmade, and our natural materials vary with their source — slightly in size, shape and lustre. Your piece is unique. Just like you.

HOW TO CARE FOR IT

The magnetic clasp is very easy to attach and holds very well. However, be careful when getting dressed and undressed (scarves, shawls, sweaters, etc.). A too harsh movement can detach it.

After wearing it, briefly wipe the clasp. This ritual prevents oxidation caused by the light but acidic marks our fingers leave behind.

SIZE GUIDE

How to choose the right size for your Floté jewelry.

Ring

First, choose the finger ;)

Measure your finger using the method of your choice. There are many... some very manual ones only need a thread, a ruler and a little precision... others use an app on your phone... Why not get yourself a ring sizer? It is the most reliable and simplest traditional method, and you can find one online for a small price. You will have it for all your future rings, and those of your loved ones...

Floté rings are handmade with elastic thread, so they slip over the knuckles very easily. But if in doubt, take the size above for more comfort.

Measure at the end of the day, when your fingers are naturally a little more swollen.

Avoid measuring when it is cold: your fingers will be thinner than usual.

For wide rings like Bulles de lune, take one size up.

Bracelet

Take a string or ribbon and wrap it around your wrist. Don’t pull it tight, but keep it close to the skin. The 6 voeux bracelet is worn close to the skin for the magical effect of floating pearls... Make a small mark in the right place with a pen, then measure the ribbon with your favourite ruler. If you are between two Floté sizes, choose the larger one.

Necklace

Our necklaces are worn close to the base of the neck, as you can see on the models. The simplest way is to take a ribbon or a shoelace and wrap it around your neck to find the length that suits you. Make a small mark in the right place with a pen, then measure the ribbon with your favourite ruler. If you are between two Floté sizes, choose the larger one.

Our Precious Materials

Freshwater pearls: River mussels take a few years to produce these little wonders, by covering a tiny intruder with layers of nacre. Beauty is born of adversity... Naturally beautiful and luminous, pearls fascinated people long before diamonds did. Each one is unique, just like each of us. We choose them with care, more or less irregular depending on the piece to be created.

Rock crystal: From Antiquity to the Middle Ages, it was believed to be frozen water turned to stone. The Romans were crazy about it! Its natural transparency, cut into small beads of different sizes, perfectly imitates dewdrops.

To the stones and pearls we add touches of silver or gold-filled, or magnetised brass. The nylon thread is almost invisible; the gold thread comes from Japan, where it is used to embroider kimonos.

Living, luminous materials, for jewelry that adorns without weighing you down.

The Floté spirit

Floté is an independent house, born from a sincere love for stones and pearls, light and simplicity.

In our workshop, each piece takes shape by hand, at a calm pace, pearl after pearl.

We believe in jewelry that doesn’t impose itself, but accompanies you: jewelry that lets you breathe, worn as an extra touch of poetry in everyday life. Little points of light, bubbles of beauty.

Floté offers you lightheartedness and lightness, effortless elegance without “overdoing it”, and the pleasure of wearing pieces that only truly come to life on your skin.
