Retro Gold Gas Pipe Collar in 18ct Yellow Gold
Expandable Collar
Description
An elegant expandable 18ct yellow gold 'gas pipe' collar from the Retro period. With platinum reserved for wartime use, jewellery created in the Retro period glowed in the warm tones of yellow and rose gold. The stunning piece has been expertly crafted using interlocking strips of gold that have been wrapped tightly together to form a highly flexible piece. This technique was necessitated as a result of the scarcity of jewellery materials during World War II. The richly polished gold surface combined with the ribbed texture ensures this highly tactile piece will sparkle tantalisingly in the summer sun. Statement collar necklaces were fashionable during the Retro period, and have continued to be worn and enjoyed ever since. Perfect to wear with jeans or to feel special at a summer party, this has a truly timeless look.
Retro jewellery inspired by Hollywood; its bold and elaborate style makes it highly coveted and collectable.
