COSTANZA (Costanza FERRARI, known as) - YEARS 1970 RARE "PIÈCE UNIQUE" PECTORAL NECKLACE AND PENDANT The necklace is composed of a curved ribbon in 18K yellow gold, amatized and brightly polished on the edges. In the center is a very long articulated pendant enhanced by two domed disks in 18K white gold. French work signed Costanza. Gross weight: 130.26 gr. Necklace width: 23 cm. Inner neck: approx. 58 cm. Pendant dimensions: 28.5 x 1.7 - 5.8 cm. COSTANZA (born 1931) A jewelry artist of the 1970s, she was entrusted with the publishing jewelry collections by Maison Hermès between 1970 and 1975, and Galerie La Demeure published a set of 32 pieces at the same time. The necklace presented here highlights the sculptural novelty of this period, when women were adorned with a large sculpture cut directly from gold leaf like a fabric. She was also one of the first French jewelry designers to use machined Altuglas (or Plexiglas). She creates jewelry with pure, soft lines: two- and three-finger rings, a curved pectoral. Although her work is rarely illustrated, some of her creations can be found in the documentation of the Musée des Arts Décoratifs. Worthy of a Cardin fashion show. Reference: Musée des Arts décoratifs, Pectoral à la Septaria, purchased 1987. Navigart.com for examples of multi-finger rings in Plexiglas. A 18K yellow and white gold sculptural necklace by Costanza, circa 1970. French assay mark and maker's mark. Gross weight : 130,26 gr. Width : 23 cm. Inner neckband : 58 cm approx.
