Piece of the Week: Nouvel Heritage’s Mood Necklace
The brand’s signature bangle gets a necklace companion.

The brand helmed by Camille Pariutte, born into a French jewelry production family who manufactures her pieces today, just launched the “Dinner Date Mood Necklace.”
It’s the first necklace iteration of the “Mood Bangle,” Nouvel Heritage’s bestselling and signature piece, a luxurious bangle bracelet with a clasp inspired by a navel ring and unlike anything else on the market.
The success of the Mood Bangle has spawned numerous versions in different metals and with different diamond and colored gemstone shapes, so customers can build their stacks. As the collection expanded, they could add “Mood Rings” to their jewelry boxes, too.
The Dinner Date Mood Necklace is an entirely new chapter for the collection, with the Mood bangle reimagined as sleek gold plates, connected with the signature diamond bar clasp, and strung on a link chain.
It’s a standalone piece that easily transitions from day to night, though Nouvel Heritage notes it could also be incorporated into any #neckmess.
The Dinner Date Mood Necklace is crafted in 18-karat rose gold with white baguette and pave diamonds. It sells or $5,700 on NouvelHeritage.com.
