Biche de Bere Paris Limited Edition Silver Plate Graffitis Plastron Necklace

About the Item

Nelly Biche de Bere Paris designed this impressive futuristic silver plate plastron necklace. The pendant necklace features a chunky massive oversized neck-tie shape with a graffiti design. The intricate design boasts stylized lines and curves like hieroglyph inscriptions. There is a hook-closing clasp with a chain for length flexibility. The engraving underside of the neckband reads Nelly Biche de Bere and is also marked "40/289" because this necklace is a limited edition. Good condition, with slight oxidation and patina throughout on the metal, but nothing obvious. Measurements: Neckband inner circumference is 14.19 in (36 cm) - Opening 3.82 in. wide (9.7 cm) - Drop is 8.07 in. long (20.5 cm) - The pendant is 7.07 in. long (18 cm) x 2.13 in. wide (5.4 cm) - Will best fit a Medium size neck with an average of 14.57 in. circumference size (37 cm). Note: Nelly Biche de Bere (born December 5, 1964) is a French designer and founder of the brand "Biche de Bere." She has been compared to visionaries such as Coco Chanel, Jean-Paul Gauthier, Karl Lagerfeld, and Philipe Starck. Graduated from the École Supérieure de Design Industrielle in Paris and the Pratt Institute in New York, having exhibited in Parisian and New York museums, she was an industrial designer in New York for seven years before creating her company in 1993. Thanks to the design, the quality, and the originality, the jewelry collections quickly met with success. Biche de Bere opened several stores in Paris and France, then in the United States (New York and Los Angeles). The company opened its manufacturing plant in France in 1994 to supply the brand stores. The brand has up to 34 stores in France and 46 abroad. The brand also completed its offer with a line of women's clothing in 1999. Subject to financial difficulties from 2006 due to poor management, the company, employing 180 employees, was placed in legal redress in April 2007, then put into compulsory liquidation by the Nantes Commercial Court with immediate termination of the activity.
