One idea carries this long necklace, the repeated narrow silver tube, drawn out into a chain whose strength is its simplicity.
The reduced, geometric form is modern silver in the workshop's idiom, the design arising from the repetition of one clean element rather than from applied ornament. A long chain of this kind is also a quiet display of the hand-fashioning the talleres brought to even their plainest pieces.
Necklaces of narrow tube links from Spratling's workshop come to market only occasionally.
