Pomander • Scented necklace
From a limited series crafted in collaboration with La Grange du Parfumeur, this unique necklace, handmade by PAPI.JOUX, stands out for its refined composition: a metallic sphere housing a lava stone for fragrance, adorned with glittery paper beads, crystals, and freshwater pearls. It embodies true artisanal craftsmanship.
Pomanders, or "pomi d’ambra" during the Renaissance, were jewelry pieces worn for their olfactory benefits. The "amber apple" or "scented apple" was a sphere of gray amber, often enriched with other essences (musk, civet, etc.), worn by Europe’s wealthy classes from the 13th to the 17th century. The term came to refer not only to the fragrant ball itself but also to the jewelry that housed it. Typically worn around the neck, these pieces could vary greatly in shape and material.
• The pomander ball is available in your choice of colors : silver or rose gold.
This pomander necklace includes a sample (2mL) of the SFUMATO fragrance, an amber eau de parfum inspired by the Renaissance
Antonella Fontana, the creator behind PAPI.JOUX, is a dear friend. Based in her studio by Lake Como in Italy, she draws inspiration from the ancient Italian tradition of pomanders to craft her unique jewelry pieces.
Artisanal craftsmanship ensures that every piece of jewelry is unique, and even when reproduced, no two will ever be identical. Any slight irregularities in the product are due to the handmade nature of its creation and should be seen as a distinctive feature that adds to its value.
Jewelry with paper elements must not be exposed to water.
For maintenance, it is recommended to clean them with a soft, dry cloth.
