Velvet Armor Necklace and Bracelet Set - Vintage Napier

From the Estate of Clara Ellison

This vintage Napier set doesn’t just accessorize - it announces. Comprising a bold choker-style necklace and a perfectly matched bracelet, the Velvet Armor Set is a symphony of rope-textured loops that rest against the skin like sacred protection.

The golden tone gleams with vintage warmth, while the layered design evokes a softness that knows its strength. Both pieces feels architectural, like they are meant to shield, shimmer, and be seen. 

Clara Ellison was rumored to have worn this set during her last public appearance—an artists’ salon hosted in her candlelit library, where she gave a toast about beauty as defiance. The necklace framed her collarbones like a crown. The bracelet glinted as she raised her glass. Together, they completed her transformation: from adorned to anointed.

A rare, ready-to-wear relic for the modern-day warrior.

Napier, known for elevating costume jewelry throughout the 20th century, created pieces that fused craftsmanship with accessible luxury. This set is no exception.

Wear it to remember:

That you are not delicate—you are deliberate. Beauty is a kind of strength.
