Feel the bold spirit of mid-20th-century modernism in this sculptural longline necklace. Cool-toned, ridged lucite discs in frosted blue and clear gradient tones catch the light with a glassy sheen, contrasting beautifully with the rough-textured tribal-style medallions. The necklace’s long length and oversized links make it a visually impactful piece, equally wearable as statement jewellery or appreciated as a collectible design object.

This unbranded yet unmistakably Brutalist piece echoes the raw artistic experimentation of 1960s–70s studio jewellery. The irregularly shaped silvertone plaques feature stylised face motifs with engraved and dotted detailing, each inset with green cabochon-style accents. Paired with textured oval metal links, the entire composition has a kinetic, gallery-like presence that reflects the era’s fascination with ancient symbolism and bold abstraction.

Pieces like this are worth preserving not only for their aesthetic boldness but also for their place in the evolution of post-war design. Whether you collect mid-century costume jewellery, Brutalist art, or wearable sculptures, this necklace offers a touchstone to a time when boundaries between fine art and adornment were being redefined. A tactile reminder of design’s most rebellious decades.
