VERDURA

GOLD 'REGATTA' NECKLACE


Of knotted rope design, composed of textured gold links.

  • Length 15⅝ inches

For a similar necklace, see Verdura: The Life and Work of a Master Jeweler by Patricia Corbett, page 173.


First produced in the 1960's, the "Regatta" design remains an important part of Verdura's collection to this day. This more recent example beautifully illustrates the very literal inspiration drawn from nautical knotwork.
