This magnificent statement choker evokes the bold, "Rive Gauche" glamour of the 1980s. With a substantial weight of 140 grams, the piece possesses the gravity and presence of a runway archive item, heavily influenced by the Robert Goossens for YSL aesthetic. Design & Articulation • The "Torade" Motif: The necklace is composed of oversized, circular links featuring a torade (twisted rope) texture. This deep ribbing creates a high-relief effect that captures light with every movement. • Barre Connectors: The textured rings are joined by polished barre (bar) connectors. This juxtaposition of the "brutalist" organic texture of the rings against the smooth, architectural bars is a hallmark of French couture costume jewelry. • Le Médaillon: The centerpiece features a dominant, high-domed noir (black) acrylic cabochon. It is held in a wide bezel setting, encircled by a matching torade border to harmonize with the chain. • Fermoir Invisible: The necklace is finished with a wide, integrated fold-over box clasp that maintains the fluid, continuous line of the links. • Finish: Rich, high-carat gold-tone plating with a lustrous "honey gold" patina. • Weight: 140g (Heavyweight / High-Quality) • Dimensions: Choker length, designed to sit elegantly at the base of the neck. • Condition: Excellent vintage condition with a bright, consistent finish. Noted minor imperfection on the clasp and minor visible adhesive at the front bezel edge. Please view photos and adjust your brightness / color
