A sautoir is a long necklace that suspends a tassel or other ornament. "Sautoir" is a French word that literally means "to jump". The term was originally used to describe a piece of horse harness that helped riders to mount their horses. However, the term has since been adopted to describe a long necklace. Sautoirs became popular in the early 20th century, partly due to the elongated silhouette of dresses that were popular during this time. Sautoirs were also a popular choice for jewellery designers during the Art Deco period, and they often featured geometric designs and precious stones. Sautoirs may be made from a variety of materials, including gold, silver, pearls, and gemstones. They can also be decorated with various other elements, such as tassels, pendants, and charms.
