About the Item
Robert Lee Morris Gold Plated Raindrop Bib Necklace 1989, an iconic Bold Gold necklace from the era of the 80's big jewelry trend. Even though this is not a big huge necklace like many that were runway pieces in the 80's, this is a pared down version of a much larger bib. This is made of connecting teardrop shaped castings that hook one into the next and are configured into a classic bib form. The concave dimple in each drop is iconic Morris, with the ultimate organic feeling of drape, luxurious feel and drama. Matte gold plated brass is the usual fare for Morris wildly popular jewelry during his period of acclaim. His collaborations with Donna Karan in the 80's and 90's were very influential to global fashion, and this necklace is a spin-off of a much larger one he did for her runway in the fall of 1989. Cascading down the neck and filling in that powerful section of a woman's body where her collar is open and one sees the jewels gracing the personality of the wearer. Light weight and very easy to wear, this is a classic piece of fashion history and modernism.

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.

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.
