Francesca Visconti is known for her bold, "chunky" gold-tone jewelry. Her work became highly accessible and popular through her long-running costume jewelry line on QVC, where she offered designs that mimicked the look of high-end boutique pieces. Her style is characterized by heavy, well-made links and a sophisticated "bold gold" aesthetic that defined power-dressing in the 1980s and early 90s. This piece has a high-polish gold-tone finish over a base metal alloy, which was a hallmark of her mid-market luxury line.
