This Brutalist pendant necklace from 1960 is cast in sterling silver with a reticulated bark texture and an asymmetrical outline. A polished oval green opal cabochon is prong-set into the lower portion of the pendant, suspended from a fine silver snake chain. Hallmarks stamped on the piece include Taylor and S Sil, with the clasp marked .925. The pendant measures 3.6 cm high, 2.2 cm wide, and 0.4 cm deep, while the chain length is 39 cm. This mid-century modern item adds a distinctive sculptural accent to daily outfits, worn as a statement piece against simple necklines. It brings organic texture to casual attire or evening wear without requiring any specialist care beyond standard silver maintenance.

FAQs

Brutalist jewellery, prominent during the 1960s and 1970s, features bold abstract forms, molten or bark-like surface textures, and asymmetrical structures that highlight the natural qualities of metals and gemstones.

Pieces from this movement typically utilise sterling silver, bronze, or gold, often worked through casting or reticulation techniques to create rough textures, frequently accented with cabochon stones such as opals or agates.

Authentic items show signs of hand fabrication, including irregular torch work, reticulated surfaces, makers marks, and standard purity hallmarks stamped on the metal reverse.

A textured silver pendant serves as a focal point when worn against minimalist monochrome clothing, neutral fabrics, or layered alongside simple silver chains.

Clean silver components gently with a soft microfibre cloth while avoiding chemical cleansers or ultrasonic baths, as opals are porous gemstones sensitive to moisture loss and harsh liquids.
