About the Item
In his very fertile period of 1982-1984, Robert experimented with countless variations of construction seeking new ways to make body hugging bib necklaces. This one is very early, vintage for sure, whereby a grid pattern was created using solid gold plated brass components, like these open squares, crosses with holes and feather-like forms with thin crescents cut out of them. A treasure for the dedicated collector of RLM! One of a kind prototype, this is a dazzling bold gold necklace that helped secure RLM his nation wide reputation as a leader in fashion jewelry.
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.

Robert Lee Morris Gilded Arrowhead Fringe Casual Necklace
By Robert Lee Morris
Located in New York, NY
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.

Robert Lee Morris Vintage Gilded Mask Necklace
By Robert Lee Morris
Located in New York, NY
This one of a kind gold plated brass piece was never sold as part of the wholesale collection of Robert Lee Morris. It instead was carved and created by him in 1983 when he was experimenting with so many new ideas. The fascinating mask carving could be both an exaggerated bird scull or part of a jet propulsion engine, the design is modern and futuristic. This is part of the large group called Casual Gold, quirky, unique experimental pieces during Morris's growing years.
