French Retro 18K Two-Tone Gold with Silver Antique Coin Braided Necklace
A striking French Retro necklace from the 1950s, crafted in 18K two-tone gold. The substantial double rope chain features interwoven yellow and white gold strands that create a rich, textured effect and a luxurious weight. Suspended from a sculptural gold bail is an authentic antique silver coin, securely bezel-set in 18K yellow gold so both sides remain visible.
One face of the coin displays a classical profile with flowing hair; the reverse shows a seated figure accompanied by a bird and other symbolic motifs, characteristic of ancient Greek or Hellenistic coinage. The coin is held by three gold prongs within a circular frame, allowing it to move freely while remaining protected.
The necklace measures 18 inches in length and weighs 65.9 grams, offering a bold yet wearable presence. Finished with a secure barrel clasp, this ready-to-wear piece exemplifies the bold, sculptural aesthetic of mid-century French jewelry design. An impressive and distinctive necklace that combines classical antiquity with 1950s elegance.
