18ct Gold Tubogas Necklace | A Vintage Icon, c.1980s, 40cm

POA

This vintage 18ct gold Tubogas necklace, made in England circa 1980s, is a pure expression of power and elegance.

Weighing an impressive 60.8 grams and measuring 40cm in length, it sits confidently at the collarbone with a fluid, coiled form that moves with the body and demands attention.

The Tubogas design—named after the flexible gas tubing it was inspired by—rose to prominence in the mid-20th century, becoming a favourite of icons and design houses for its seamless construction and sensual fit.

With its 1cm diameter and integrated clasp, this piece is more than jewellery. It’s wearable architecture.

A timeless vintage statement - perfect worn alone, or layered with intention.
