The late 1960s and 1970s were the heydey for experimentation in jewelry, including bold expressions of a love of nature, interpreted as raw, textured, hammered yellow gold, rough cut gemstones or found objects, and organic designs. Turquoise, amethyst and opals returned to style, while diamonds took a backseat, and long sautoirs flourished, reflecting the free-spirited bohemia of the times. This opulent necklace, while unsigned by its artistic maker, well reflects these times, as well as the technical virtuosity of its creator. Here, molten 14-karat gold with a splatter of diamond pours over the oversized opal with a play of color, while the handmade links on its chain are tightly attached, one to the other, to give the illusion almost of a single piece of metal.
