Vintage twisted wire pendant necklace, 70s-style costume jewelry

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage costume necklace features an original teardrop-shaped pendant made of twisted wire with a metallic appearance. The center of the pendant is adorned with a motif composed of several intertwined rings, also crafted with a twisted and smooth effect, creating an interesting play of textures. The rounded bail connects the pendant to a rigid, dark-colored cord, reinforced by tubular elements with a metallic finish, visible on either side of the choker.

The necklace adopts a sober and geometric aesthetic, typical of 1970s costume jewelry creations. The ensemble combines industrial and minimalist influences, with a striking contrast between the dark cord and the metallic elements. The rigid structure of the choker, combined with the presence of twisted motifs, gives the jewelry a unique and vintage look, while remaining elegant and easy to wear.

The pendant's finish reveals matte and slightly patinated reflections, accentuating the retro character of the jewelry. The central rings, of different sizes, are movable and add a dynamic dimension to the piece. No markings, signatures, or hallmarks are visible on the photographed side.

The lobster clasp is partially visible in the photo, accompanied by an extension chain allowing the necklace length to be adjusted to preference. The attachments also have a metallic finish, harmonized with the rest of the jewelry.

The ensemble is photographed against a burgundy background, highlighting the metallic nuances of the pendant and the sobriety of the choker. This necklace is ideal for showcasing on a solid-colored garment or for complementing a retro or industrial style outfit.

Condition

Used item sold as is. Some signs of wear and a slight patina are visible on the metallic parts, consistent with the age and use of the jewelry. The clasp appears functional and the mounting solid on the visible side.

Did you know? The twisted wire motif has been frequently used in costume jewelry since the 1970s, particularly to imitate the look of industrial cable or steel wire, which was very popular in retro and modernist style creations.
