Jewelry in the 1970s embraced bold, sculptural designs, with textured gold becoming a defining feature. Inspired by organic forms and ancient influences, artisans crafted pieces with hammered, brushed, and granulated finishes, creating a raw, tactile feel. Chunky gold chains, abstract rings, and statement cuffs dominated, reflecting the era’s love for individuality and self-expression. Designers like Andrew Grima and Van Cleef & Arpels popularized these intricate textures, often incorporating gemstones like citrine and turquoise for a vibrant touch. This luxurious yet natural aesthetic defined 1970s jewelry, making textured gold a lasting symbol of the decade’s glamorous yet free-spirited style.
