Tiffany & Co. 18K Yellow Gold Necklace

For over 80 years, spanning three generations of family ownership, Kentshire Galleries has been one of the foremost dealers in fine antique and period jewelry and objets d’art. As the third generation of the family to lead Kentshire, Carrie Imberman and her brother, Matthew, continue to refine the gallery’s founding vision: buying and selling outstanding jewelry and objects of enduring design and elegance.

A gold chain necklace comprised of opposed, spiral links, in 18k. Tiffany & Co. During the 1970s, Tiffany & Co. increasingly embraced a modern language of gold jewelry, favoring bold, sculptural forms that could be worn with ease. In-house designers such as Elsa Peretti helped define this new sensibility, in which simple motifs were transformed through scale, proportion, and craftsmanship into striking works of wearable design. This necklace reflects that spirit, turning a repeated spiral form into a rhythmic and sophisticated composition. The chain is composed of a continuous series of articulated circular links, each formed as a tightly coiled spiral of polished 18k gold wire. The concentric pattern catches light from every angle, lending texture and dimension despite the necklace's restrained silhouette.
