About the Item

A refined expression of Italian modernist goldsmithing, this sculptural 18 karat gold necklace embodies the effortless sophistication that defined late 20th century luxury jewelry. Composed of fluid oversized circular and elongated oval links, the design creates an elegant rhythm around the neckline while maintaining an airy, architectural presence. The softly rounded forms and high-polish finish give the piece a sensual movement and unmistakably elevated character. Crafted in solid 18K yellow gold and weighing an impressive 40.60 grams, the necklace balances bold scale with remarkable wearability. Measuring 18 inches in length, it sits beautifully at the collarbone and layers seamlessly with both contemporary and vintage jewelry collections. The necklace reflects the clean, sculptural aesthetic associated with celebrated Italian goldwork of the 1980s and 1990s, recalling the understated glamour of designers such as Elsa Peretti and Angela Cummings while remaining timelessly versatile. An elegant statement piece that transitions effortlessly from day to evening.
