Ford & Forlano Sculptural Squiggle Bead Necklace, 1980's
About the Item
David Forlano & Steve Ford began their artistic collaboration in the 1980's with a design philosophy of creating unique pieces that combine upscale craft and organic aesthetics. This fun 'Squiggle' necklace is composed of hand-formed polymer clay beads with gold leafed spacers on a 2-ply silk cord. The necklace is designed without a closure and the opera length allows it to be twisted, doubled and manipulated to create many shapes and looks. And when you are not wearing it, it is a clever piece to lay around like a tangle sculpture. From the estate of an Atlanta based artist.
