This striking mid-20th-century sterling silver choker necklace by Spanish designer Joachim S'Paliu features a large open teardrop pendant that showcases his signature modernist aesthetic.
The hook clasp is stamped "Sterling" and "S'Paliu," and the reverse of the pendant is marked "Spain."
Joachim S'Paliu is celebrated for his distinctive modernist jewelry, created primarily during the 1960s and 1970s. Born in 1944, he reached his creative peak during this period, producing sculptural sterling silver designs that blur the line between jewelry and wearable art. His bold, organic forms remain highly recognizable and sought after by collectors of modernist jewelry.
The necklace is in overall great condition, but there are natural signs of wear on every vintage piece, so please examine all photos and don’t hesitate to ask questions.
Size: The inner diameter of the round neck ring is about 5 inches; the pendant drop, including the bail, is about 3.25 inches long.
Weight: About 70 grams
