About the Item

This Gerhard Herbst Silver collar has been meticulously hand forged to the precise hardness and temper required to achieve Gerhard Herbst’s unique flex function he utilizes for fitting. One of only 18 pieces made, this work varies from the original production as it one of few to feature a hammer texture finish. Measuring 1 1/4’’ at its widest point this work has an internal diameter of 4 1/8’’ and a circumference of 14’’. It weighs 59 grams and comfortably fits neck sizes under 13 1/2’’. Estimated total production: 18 pieces Marks: Sterling/ Signed by Artist Modernist designer, Gerhard Herbst translates sculptural form into the jewelry medium. Popularly known for his spatial shapes and fluid manipulations of metal, Herbst began producing his unique style of jewelry in 1975. Herbst then continued to study both sculpture and jewelry design at San Diego State University, and upon graduating he established his jewelry studio in Ocean Beach California. Adopting a wholesale manufacturing business model, Herbst would reproduce designs which he would then sell to leading Museum shops and galleries throughout the United States. Although no edition numbers were set, total production was limited as each piece was individually and personally handcrafted by Gerhard Herbst.
