About the Item

Circa 1970s, 18k, by Othmar Zschaler, Bern, Switzerland. This necklace has a striking visual presence showcasing Othmar Zschaler's flawless design sensibilities. Combining a spectacular fantasy flow of opal (natural opal) with an abstract cubist gold landscape, the massive stone is the ocean in a cubist shoreline, a rough landscape of gold that gives the piece dimensionality and texture juxtaposed with a glossy flow of blue-green. The look is boldly confident… luxuriously one-of-a-kind. Excellent condition. Sought after by museum and private collections alike, Othmar Zschaler's work was important, often included in articles, books, and exhibitions. Stone Details: The opal is beyond spectacular. Left rough in some places and polished in others, it is a masterwork unto itself. Remark: "Art becomes fashion. In a postmodern world, jewelry became art and we became living sculpture." SIZE: 25 inches long, the element is 3 inches long WEIGHT: 95.1 grams STONES: Opal HALLMARKS: OTHMAR ZSCHALER, 750 for 18k, and OZ STOCK NUMBER: 24182 Jewelry acquired from this dealer must delight you. Purchases may be returned for any reason for a period of 3 days.
