The legacy of a sculptural silhouette at Tiffany & Co.
The 1980s marked a return to clean lines and bold designs. It is against this aesthetic backdrop that this Tiffany & Co. necklace, centred on the classic sailor’s knot motif, finds its place. This symbol of attachment blends seamlessly with a sleek, choker-style design in 18-carat yellow gold. This pre-owned piece illustrates the New York-based house’s ability to design simple geometric forms with a bold metallic presence.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The construction of this setting is based on a succession of smooth, parallel tubular segments. Each double section is connected by a delicately intertwined knot. This joint ensures a natural and precise drape across the collarbone. The surfaces are finished with a fully polished finish that catches the light evenly. The assembly skilfully conceals a ratchet clasp within the continuity of the gold, secured by a discreet rear latch.
Why choose this second-hand necklace
Acquiring a vintage creation of this calibre is a discerning choice. Contemporary pieces tend to feature increasingly refined structures. This piece, by contrast, offers a generous and tangible density of yellow gold. Choosing this item means acquiring a design whose robust craftsmanship ensures it will hold up perfectly over the years, with a material richness that has become rare.
