A gold chain necklace comprised of opposed, spiral links, in 18k. Tiffany & Co.

During the 1970s, Tiffany & Co. increasingly embraced a modern language of gold jewelry, favoring bold, sculptural forms that could be worn with ease. In-house designers such as Elsa Peretti helped define this new sensibility, in which simple motifs were transformed through scale, proportion, and craftsmanship into striking works of wearable design. This necklace reflects that spirit, turning a repeated spiral form into a rhythmic and sophisticated composition. The chain is composed of a continuous series of articulated circular links, each formed as a tightly coiled spiral of polished 18k gold wire. The concentric pattern catches light from every angle, lending texture and dimension despite the necklace's restrained silhouette.
