About the Item

This exceptional vintage Wander necklace exemplifies the refined artistry of mid-20th century French jewelry design. Handcrafted in richly textured 18K yellow gold, the piece features a rhythmic arrangement of twisted oval links, alternating satin and polished finishes. Ingeniously designed as a convertible necklace, it separates into two segments—one measuring 14" and the other 18"—allowing for versatile styling as a collar or full-length 32" necklace. With a commanding weight of 188.2 grams, it speaks to the exceptional quality of French craftsmanship of the period. The necklace bears the French maker’s mark of W.F. inside a lozenge-shaped cartouche, attributed to the distinguished Parisian firm Wander. Originally known as Wander & Fils, the house operated under the W.F. maker’s mark, registered in France, and was known for producing finely textured and weighty gold jewels in the 1950s and 1960s. A rare and striking example of French convertible design, this Wander necklace blends elegance, innovation, and substance.
