About the Item

Bay Area artist and sculptor Mary Oros created this bold sculptural necklace in the 1980s. The choker features an organic feel, with branches shaped in cast resin and a gilded metal coating, topped with turquoise, blue, white, and black resin cabochons. There is a hook-closing clasp on the underside. There is no visible maker's mark. The necklace is in good condition, with minor surface wear and a slight loss of gilt coating throughout. Measurements: The necklace is 21.63 in (55 cm) long and 2.38 in (6 cm) wide. Note: Check the last picture for reference. We have matching brooch and earrings for sale at our storefront. Please note that only the brooch 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 with vibrant metallic paint hand-selected by Mary herself, and finished with acrylic for added shine and durability. Some pieces were made to resemble stones, while others 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 since attained a highly collectible status.
