ABOUT PRODUCTID 19201
This handcrafted modernist necklace, made in Warsaw in the 1960s, epitomizes the Orno workshop’s approach to postwar Polish jewelry design. The piece comprises a sequence of asymmetrical, organic-shaped links in sterling silver (925), each set with a segment of antique red-orange coral. The center portion is densely composed of irregular, geometrically abstract forms, while the upper section transitions into a simpler series of larger oval silver links, creating a visual sense of balance and subtle lightness. The silver features a soft sheen and smooth surface, while the coral displays natural variation in shape and hue, enhancing the one-of-a-kind quality of the necklace. Each element is joined by discreet, rounded silver connectors; total weight is 40 grams, and the overall length is 55 cm. Condition: very good, with no visible damage, losses, or subsequent repairs.Within this necklace lies the narrative of Polish postwar avant-garde: free-form creativity grounded in an honest regard for material and process. The silver, shaped with deliberate irregularity, speaks of the resilience and dynamism of nature, while every drop of coral conjures memories of fire and the molten red tones of ancient earth. The necklace might whisper of a decade that sought modernity while remaining true to the traditions of craftsmanship and bold, authentic design.It could be showcased against minimalist attire—a crisp white shirt or black dress would highlight both its vivid palette and sculptural rhythm. It would also pair well
