Anne Klein "The Matriarch" Knot Jewelry Set

Corner Office

ERA: A Wall Street Boardroom, Circa 1985 

STYLE NOTES: Substantial Weight, Matte Gold Finish, Sculptural Links, Unspoken Authority

PAIRS WELL WITH: A silk blouse with sharp shoulder pads, the click of high heels on a marble floor, and a business plan that will change the industry. This is not just a bracelet; it is a resume.

The Character Arc

This is not just a set of jewelry; it is the complete armor of a woman who built her own empire. From the golden age of Anne Klein and the zenith of "Power Dressing," this iconic knot motif set was the signature of a generation of trailblazing women.

The bracelet is a statement of unspoken authority. Its substantial weight is a satisfying presence on the wrist, each sculptural link a decisive, confident knot. The matching earrings are the finishing touch—the quiet, strategic affirmation of expertise. The consistent, sophisticated matte gold finish speaks not of loud ostentation, but of an earned, quiet confidence.

Imagine this set worn together—to lead a meeting, to close a deal, to celebrate a milestone. Or worn separately—the earrings for a thoughtful day at a museum, the bracelet for a power lunch. They are versatile tools for a life lived with purpose.

The honest marks of time and wear at the connection points are not flaws; they are the battle scars of a life well-lived, the tangible proof of countless glass ceilings broken. This set doesn't need to be perfect. It just needs to be powerful.

Wear the full story. Inherit the legacy.

Front Presentation: The front-facing matte gold finish on both the bracelet and earrings is in good, consistent condition, showing only minor, superficial scuffs and bumps.

Of Note (Wear): As is very common with pieces of this era, the connection points between the bracelet links show significant and visible plate loss. The reverse side of the earrings also shows a small, localized area of gold loss. These are honest signs of a life well-lived and are not overly noticeable when the set is worn. The price has been set to reflect the authentic history and combined value of the set.
