Primavera necklace
VINTAGE GLASS
The Primavera necklace is a limited edition made of vintage glass beads, strass, and a sterling silver clasp.
It measures 39cm but can be adjusted upon request (just email us the length you wish at hello@banglabegum.com). It weighs just about 100g.
The Primavera necklace is made to order and ships in 1 to 2 weeks.
We ship it worldwide and shipping is free within the EU. Our shipping fee for outside the EU includes duties and taxes.
The Primavera necklace is entirely made in France. It is composed of vintage glass beads discovered in the attic of a historic glass supplier. The silver clasp was designed by us and is cast by a small foundry outside Paris.
The Primavera necklace is Bangla Begum's playful homage to a classic Renaissance painting: Botticelli's Spring. It is the starting point of the entire Primavera collection: after completing this necklace, I loved it so much that I decided to decline it. That's how the collection was born - from this one extraordinary piece.

We've been blessed with great and kind press coverage. French Vogue was our first press feature (for the Boob ring of course), so heart out to them. We've also had a full page in M (Le Monde's style supplément), an amazing in-depth article in WWD, a feature in the T List and many many fabulous mentions in Stylist, Le Figaro, Cabana and even Gala.
We've also struck some warm bonds in the digital world. I'm thinking of color-genius style maker @dahanadcr, creative director + Hadid sister @lanzybear and fashion empire builder @lisagachet.
In real life (wait, Insta isn't real life? I'm up for a debate), our ambassadors are just the best. The queen of them all being writer Deborah Levy, who wears her Bangla Begum jewelry everywhere (even in Vogue). Princes and princesses of the realm include film director and actress Monia Chokri (@moniachokri), curator Diana Campbell (@dhakadiana), artist Miet Warlop (@miet_warlop), and Lebanese poet Hussein Nasereddine (@photo.hussein), all of them carrying Bangla Begum into their own wide and wild worlds.
