This vintage 1970s Kutchinsky Gemini zodiac pendant is crafted in 18k yellow gold with a polished black onyx ground. The pendant features two sculptural gold Gemini figures applied over the onyx, framed by an abstract textured gold border that gives the design depth and dimension. The contrast between the black onyx and high karat yellow gold creates the bold graphic look associated with Kutchinsky’s 1970s jewelry.
The pendant is signed Kutchinsky and stamped 18CT, confirming 18k gold purity. It weighs 45.7 grams, giving it a substantial feel, and measures 2 1/2 inches in width by 2 3/4 inches in length including the bale. The large circular format, applied figural detailing, and dimensional gold border make this a strong example of Kutchinsky’s late 20th century design language.
Kutchinsky jewelry from this period is known for bold scale, textured gold work, and expressive forms. This Gemini pendant captures that style through its zodiac subject, sculptural construction, and use of black onyx as a dramatic backdrop for the gold figures.
