Something about these round discs make me think of Disco, and its roots can be traced back to underground clubs in the late 1960s before Disco became popular in the mid 70s. But we are here to talk about jewelry, and not music ;)
Meticulously crafted from luxurious 18k rose gold, this exceptional piece showcases a "drapery" design. The chain is adorned with an array of round gold discs, designed to catch the light and create a mesmerizing, fluid shimmer with every movement. Truly a Disco chain! And its warm rose gold colour adds a sophisticated touch, making it a versatile for day and evening wear.
The 1960s period in jewelry design was characterized by a shift from the formality of the previous decade towards bolder, more expressive, and often playful aesthetics. While the later 60s embraced vibrant colors and geometric shapes influenced by Pop Art and the Space Age, the early to mid-1960s still saw a strong appreciation for refined gold work and textured metals. French jewelers, renowned for their exquisite craftsmanship, expertly blended classic elegance with the upcoming trends.
This necklace is a testament to the elegant craftsmanship and evolving style characteristic of French jewelry from this pivotal mid-century era.
