The Story & History
A striking 18-carat yellow-gold necklace by Manfred Seitner of Vienna, distinguished by its sculptural geometry and beautifully restrained use of texture. The necklace has a distinctly architectural quality, combining articulated cylindrical forms with subtle variations in angle to create a dynamic and highly contemporary silhouette.
The accompanying matching ear clips complete the suite, echoing the necklace’s geometric language in a beautifully cohesive design.
Design & Details
The necklace is composed of a graduated arrangement of hollow cylindrical gold sections, each individually articulated and subtly offset from the next. This creates an irregular, rhythmic silhouette that moves naturally around the neck while retaining a strong geometric structure.
The tubular elements have been individually brushed, producing a softly matt surface that contrasts elegantly with the polished edges. This interplay of textures gives the necklace considerable depth and emphasises its sculptural construction.
The matching ear clips are formed as angular chevron or V-shaped elements in brushed yellow gold, providing a strong visual connection with the necklace while remaining distinctive in their own right.
The suite is made by Manfred Seitner of Vienna, whose name is closely associated with bold, sculptural approaches to modern jewellery design.
Styling & Wearability
A sophisticated statement suite, this necklace and matching ear clips would make an exceptional addition to a collection of modernist jewellery. The articulated construction gives the necklace movement, while the combination of matt and polished gold prevents the strong geometric forms from appearing overly severe.
The unusual graduated arrangement makes the necklace particularly striking when worn with simple evening or contemporary clothing, allowing the architectural quality of the gold to become the focus.
