About the Item

What a fun necklace this one is, with the explosion of gold plated brass ball beads that are rooted to a curved brass base that sits just at the base of the neck. There is a long 13' chain that comes off the frontal horseshoe of ball clusters, that is adjustable allowing for greater ease of wear, and options of length. Created in 2015 as a prototype, it is a one of a kind piece. Party jewelry, fun and flamboyant, bold and gold, it is the perfect touch for the holiday festivities.

Robert Lee Morris Wabi Sabi Collection Brass Domes Chocker Necklace
By Robert Lee Morris
Located in New York, NY
This bold strong and emphatic design is constructed of large oxidized brass domes, linked into a high fitting collar. Looking medieval and luscious, like out of a a movie, this beautiful and very simple necklace commands attention even in its more subtle tones of warm bronze. It is Wabi Sabi, and is great as part of a layering of chains around the neck for a spectacular fashion moment. Each high dome is finished off with two wire bands at the bottom edge. Constructed in 1984, the rich coloration of the brass is warm and comforting. Wabi Sabi is the Japanese term that means aged, used, worn, filled with character and spirit through use, old, spirited, and Robert Lee Morris loves it. So much of his jewelry has the Wabi Sabi quality, which is the opposite of glitz and sparkly bling so associated with jewelry in the first place. Morris spent 4 years living in Japan as a child, his father a USAF officer and pilot, and was very inspired by the beauty of traditional Japanese aesthetic and culture. Therefore one can see this exemplified in the colors of the metal and materials he uses; tarnished and oxidized brass, copper bronze and sometimes even darkened silver. The occasional use of leather or Elk skin...
