18ct French Marked Tubogas Necklace

An exceptional vintage 18ct gold Tubogas necklace, crafted in France and designed as a refined collar-style piece. This striking necklace exemplifies the iconic Tubogas construction, characterised by its flexible, tubular form that drapes smoothly around the neck while retaining impressive structural integrity.

The design takes its name from industrial gas piping, reflected in the finely coiled gold segments that create a continuous, seamless appearance. Both supple and durable, the necklace sits beautifully at the collarbone, offering a bold yet elegant statement with a distinctly modernist edge.

French hallmarks confirm the necklace’s 18ct gold purity and provenance, demonstrating its quality craftsmanship and collectible appeal. Tubogas jewellery rose to prominence during the mid-to-late 20th century and has since become synonymous with sophisticated design and luxury, favoured by leading European jewellers and collectors alike.

A timeless and versatile piece, this necklace transitions effortlessly from day to evening wear and stands alone as a statement, or layers elegantly with finer chains.
