Sterling Silver Tiffany & Co. GO WOMEN Bar Pendant Necklace - A Tiffany & Co. sterling silver commemorative pendant necklace from 2012. The piece features a vertical rectangular bar pendant embossed with the inscription GO WOMEN set against a textured ground. The pendant is suspended from a fine sterling silver cable link chain. Hallmarks on the reverse of the pendant include 2012 and © T & Co. 925, while the chain features an oval tag stamped 925. Length: 16 to 18 inches. The Tiffany GO WOMEN Bar Pendant in sterling silver accompanies the 2013 commemorative necklace as a companion piece - the bar form is one of Elsa Peretti's most influential contributions to the Tiffany design vocabulary, and its application to the GO WOMEN campaign message creates a piece with both design heritage and social significance. Documented Tiffany commemorative pieces with campaign provenance are undervalued relative to their cultural specificity. Tiffany and Co. sterling silver jewelry has been made to a consistent standard in the United States since 1837, and earlier production pieces are identifiable by their slightly heavier silver weight and more deliberate finish. Elsa Peretti designs, introduced in 1974, remain among the most enduring in the house's archive and are reproduced in current production with only minor variations from the originals.
