French gold jewelry from the 1970s often featured bold, textured, and sculptural designs, and the rope motif was a very popular style during that era. Rope-style chains and motifs are meant to look like twisted cords, giving a sense of texture, movement, and luxury. Very tactile, almost fabric-like quality.
The 1970s French style leaned toward bold and glamorous rather than delicate and as expected made with meticulous workmanship.
Necklace In 18k yellow gold, stylized as a rope enhanced with cultured pearls.
Incredibly chic.
