in 18ct Yellow Gold in 18ct Yellow Gold

An intricate 18ct yellow gold rope twist long necklace (80cm) from the 1980s. Remembered for larger than life fashions and hair styles, conspicuous consumption was widely enjoyed. The warm rich tones of 18ct yellow gold instantly conveyed wealth and status, which resulted in bold gold pieces of jewellery becoming hugely popular. This necklace perfectly epitomises the mood of the era, with a flexible and tactile construction that comfortably encircles the neck. A practical box clasp has been set with four round brilliant cut diamonds, which can be easily worn as a feature over a crisp white shirt. Inspired by Retro jewellery, the period saw a notable shift away from the cool platinum of the Art Deco era to warmer yellow and rose golds.
