Exceptional vintage Guy Vidal statement piece featuring a dramatic series of abstract Brutalist links in palladium-plated pewter. Designed with Vidal’s unmistakable sculptural sensibility, the composition alternates open rectangular connectors with larger geometric panels punctuated by circular cutouts, raised beadwork, irregular edges, and richly textured surfaces.

Each individually articulated link has the raw, hand-worked appearance associated with the Canadian modernist designer’s most collectible creations. The cool silver-gray finish is subtly accented by warm tonal variations and naturally aged patina, emphasizing every crevice and dimensional detail.

Generously proportioned and wonderfully versatile, this piece may be worn as an extra-long necklace or styled as an extraordinary statement belt. Its openwork construction gives the substantial design a sense of movement, allowing the links to drape beautifully around the neck or waist.

A rare and wearable example of Guy Vidal’s avant-garde jewelry—equally compelling as fashion, sculpture, and collectible Canadian modernist design.

Vintage condition with age-appropriate patina and surface wear. Please review all photographs, as they form an important part of the condition description.
