AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This necklace features a sculptural and singular design, immediately recognizable by its wavy lines and two heart-shaped elements. The piece is composed of a wide, flexible snake chain choker that extends into several twisted strands of the same texture. These strands merge into a fluid composition to form a central motif, structured around two superimposed hearts. The apparent solid metal finish, mentioned in the keywords, gives the piece a raw, slightly patinated look that accentuates its authentic and vintage character.

The necklace is distinguished by its asymmetrical structure and generous volume. The links are fine but dense, with a regular raised texture, typical of high-end snake chains used in 20th-century costume jewelry. The two hearts, of different sizes, are positioned off-center, creating a dynamic and contemporary visual effect. The visible ends of the necklace show flexible movement, with no visible clasp on this side.

The metal color is matte gray, with slightly satin reflections, evoking an antique alloy. The surface of the hearts reveals a nuanced patina, with natural traces of oxidation, which reinforces the authenticity of the piece and attests to its age. No logo, hallmark, or manufacturer's inscription is visible on the photographed side.

The overall style of the necklace is resolutely retro, with an organic aesthetic reminiscent of the avant-garde creations of the 1970s-1980s. The stylized heart motifs and serpentine lines give it a look that is both romantic and modern, ideal for making a striking statement with a simple outfit or for special occasions.

Condition

This necklace is a used item, sold as is. The metal surface shows a homogeneous patina, with slight traces of wear visible on the hearts and strands, without major chips or apparent deformations on the visible side.
