About the Item

Created in 1983, the key form in this piece is a flat but hammered arrowhead shaped drop. The sensual way the many flat and glistening fringe pieces overlap and shimmy back and forth makes this a very fun necklace. Hanging from a gutsy chain this gold plated brass necklace has an adjustable length due to the hook clasp. The inspiration for this necklace is somewhere between the overlapping of roof tiles and shaggy hair. It is a sexy piece due to its free form movement, very linky-lanky. 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.
