Vintage Italian Modernist 18K Gold and Diamond Triangle Pendant Necklace

This Italian modernist necklace reduces its design to clean geometry: an inverted triangle of polished yellow gold, cut through by a curved opening that separates it from a fan-shaped white gold plaque set with diamonds. The negative space gives the piece depth and lets the two golds read as distinct planes.

The teardrop-link chain is integral to the design, attaching directly at each corner so the pendant sits flat and centered. At under two millimeters, the links still present as substantial, with a crisp, architectural profile that matches the pendant.

A refined example of late 1970s to early 1980s Italian goldwork, this 18K two-tone necklace layers easily or stands confidently on its own.
