A masterclass in contrast and curvature, the “Croissant” necklace by William Spratling features a dramatic interplay between luminous sterling silver and deep, glossy tortoise shell. Its crescent-like form is crafted from sweeping segments that twist and fan outward, echoing Spratling’s iconic modernist sensibility. The bold geometry is softened by the natural warmth of the inlaid tortoise shell, creating a harmony between organic and architectural. Composed of five sculptural panels connected with hidden links, the necklace drapes like a metallic collar and fastens with a stylized, elongated chain. This authorized replica remains true to Spratling’s original vision, with a 0.925 sterling silver body and a clear hallmark engraved on the reverse: the William Spratling emblem and “TWS” stamp confirming its Taxco origin. This piece represents one of Spratling’s most celebrated designs, ideal for collectors who appreciate historically grounded elegance.Authorized replica handcrafted in sterling silver and tortoise shell.Length 19 in.
