Did you say “Marseille necklace”?
In the XNUMXth century, it was Marseilles women known as “partisan”, sellers on the markets, who had the idea of buying gold balls. It was sort of their retirement savings plan. Gold was at that time the standard of money and practically the only sure transportable value. The thread being fragile, they got into the habit of linking the balls together with a gold mesh. In the XNUMXth century, the custom spread among the bourgeoisie so that women from Marseilles meeting outside Marseille recognized themselves by wearing the Marseille collar. In the old days, when a young girl was born “from a good family”, the parents opened a “list” of Marseille necklaces to her at the jeweler!
