This striking 1970s Italian necklace clasp is a true vintage treasure, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship and artistry of the era. Crafted from brass, other mixed metals and plated in luxurious 18K gold, this substantial clasp measures 2cm in height and 3cm in width, making it a bold, eye-catching focal point for any jewellery piece. The clasp features an intricate, rectangular design depicting two figures engaged in a spiritual ritual, their movements and gestures conveying a sense of mysticism and reverence. This decorative tongue clasp would have originally been used to secure a chunky, multi-strand necklace or bracelet, the eight brass crimps suspended from the clasp forming an open-lace pattern that adds an elegant, romantic flourish.
Originating from the artistic hub of Rome, Italy during the vibrant 1970s, this clasp exemplifies the era's fascination with bold, statement-making jewelry that blended contemporary design with nods to ancient traditions and symbolism. The clasp is marked "MADE ITALY" on the reverse, proudly displaying its Italian provenance. While the piece does show some gentle signs of age and wear over the decades, including subtle fading on the reverse, it remains in excellent, pre-loved condition, ready to be incorporated into a new vintage-inspired jewellery creation. Whether used to restore a classic chunky necklace or bracelet, or incorporated into an entirely new design, this exquisite Italian clasp is a true treasure trove of 1970s style and craftsmanship.
