Vintage Retro 18 Karat Yellow Gold Beaded Coral Multi-String Layered Necklace

About the Item

This multi-string layered necklace is a handcrafted piece, composed of 18 karat yellow gold and decorated with coral beads. The design features multiple chains interlinked and cascading in a tiered fashion, creating a textured and statement look. The incorporation of coral—a material with a rich history in jewelry making—echoes the traditional practices of surrounding oneself with treasures from the sea. Historically, such multi-strand necklaces reflect styles that were prevalent in the retro period of jewelry, spanning the 1940s to the 1970s. Jewelry from this era often featured bold, sculptural forms and an emphasis on creating a sense of movement and fluidity, as seen in the draping layers of this necklace. It was also a time when there was a strong focus on craftsmanship and the handmade nature of items, which is evident in the careful assembly of the gold strands and coral beads. This piece resonates with the era's appreciation for pieces that were not just ornamental but also substantial and tactile. The necklace’s clasp, a functional yet aesthetically pleasing feature, is engineered to support the elaborate structure of the interwoven gold strands. Its design allows the piece to sit comfortably around the neck, ensuring that the intricate detailing and the weight of the gold are distributed evenly. Each strand in the necklace contributes to its overall elegance and complexity. In its totality, the necklace is not only an accessory but a showcase of artisanal skill and the time-honored tradition of working with precious metals and gems. The design achieves a balance between the grandeur of the past and the timeless appeal of fine jewelry. This necklace exemplifies a classic aesthetic, one that is indicative of the retro period's enduring influence on contemporary jewelry designs. Length: 24" Signage: "18k" and two maker's marks that are not discernible Condition: In great vintage condition with some fading on the beads and some hairline scratches on the metal Weight: 90.6 grams 100% Money Back Guarantee
