Napier 1972 Sprindrift Necklace by Eugene Bertolli

This is a fabulous 1972 Napier “Spindrift” necklace by Eugene Bertolli. It has been wrongly attributed to another Napier designer by sellers. This amazing necklace is the work of Mr. Bertolli and re-verfied by his family. The design features a modern textured bow motif in an organic openwork design with applied polished beads. Bilateral 4″ double chains suspend the necklace terminating with seven strands of chain.

Please note that attributing a design simply on similar styles is not accurate when studying Napier jewelry. Multiple designers would work on a collection. You must have direct verification or a design patent to credit correct designer. This piece is featured on page 470 of The Napier Co.: Defining 20th Century American Costume Jewelry.
