About the Item
This is a configurations of gold plated brass crosshatched designs within circles and high domes surrounded by an orbiting ring, with chiseled fringe drops of solid brass, patterned into a high neck, short bib necklace. Simple hook clasp. One of a kind. Very early piece from 1982-83.
There is a large body of jewelry created by Robert Lee Morris called Casual Gold. They are made by rearranging the many RLM vocabulary components into new and interesting configurations. All necklaces had to be flexible, soft and moldable to the neck and shoulders. The brand style kept fresh and iconic by Robert pulling parts from the vast range of shapes and connectors, assorted castings, and carvings that became key signature elements to use in the construction of new work all the time. The pressure to create a new collection four times a year forced Robert to constantly invent new themes, directions and techniques to keep the jewelry brand alive and relevant. These bold gold necklaces are sheer fantasy, fun and the bridge between costume and designer jewelry. These pieces are called Casual Gold, and are prototypes, one of a kind experiments, and rarely made for the wholesale market.
