Mary Oros Sculptural Gilt Cast Resin Choker Necklace

About the Item

Bay area artist and sculptor Mary Oros created this bold sculptural necklace in the 1980s. The choker features an organic feel of branches shaped in cast resin with gilded metal coating topped with turquoise blue, white, and black resin cabochons. There is a hook closing clasp underside. There is no visible maker's mark. Good condition, with minor surface wear and micro miss of gilt coating throughout. Measurements: The necklace's length is 21.63 in. long (55 cm) x 2.38 in. wide (6 cm). Note: Check the last picture for reference. We do have the matching pin and earrings for sale in our storefront. Please note only the pin has brand marking. About: Californian sculptor and artist Mary Oros created an iconic and highly sought-after jewelry line from 1986 to 1990. Each piece is made of cast resin, colored individually in vibrant metallic paint hand-selected by Mary herself, and covered in acrylic for shine and durability. Some pieces were made to look like stones, and some were made to look like brass or silver. The whole collection was an outstanding statement. Mary Oros's work was featured in Bazaar and other high-end fashion magazines in the late 1980s and has attained a highly collectible status since then.
