Why we love it

Description & history

A vintage 1980s Salvatore Ferragamo necklace · silver-tone brass · adjustable 41–46 cm ball chain · pendant composed of three Gancini linked by a central ring · 3.5 × 1.4 cm pendant · lobster clasp with hallmark · grade B.

This Salvatore Ferragamo necklace embodies an Italian elegance that is both understated and instantly recognisable. Its silver-tone finish gives the piece a sleek, contemporary look, while the pendant features one of the house's most iconic symbols: the Gancini. Three small Gancini motifs are brought together around a central ring to create a refined, graphic composition.

Over time, the Gancini has become a true visual signature of Ferragamo. Inspired by the metal elements found in the house's universe, this hook-shaped motif has become an instantly recognisable hallmark on accessories and jewellery. On this vintage piece, it appears as a trio, creating a balanced pendant that remains subtle enough for everyday wear.

The ball chain, adjustable from 41 to 46 cm, makes it easy to alter the position of the pendant. Measuring 3.5 × 1.4 cm, it offers just the right amount of presence without weighing down the neckline. The silver-tone finish works equally well with neutral tones and more contemporary silhouettes, making this necklace a particularly versatile piece.

Good vintage condition, grade B — no flaws to report and no signs of oxidation. The clasp bears a hallmark and the piece comes with its RARR Vintage certificate of authenticity. An interesting collector's piece for lovers of vintage Ferragamo, Italian signatures and timeless design. Sold with its original RARR Vintage box.
