About the Item

This one of a kind brass construction is part of the Armor family that Robert has created throughout the years, from 1974 until 2019. The impact that this piece has is strictly for the red carpet or rock concert attire. Often Robert created pieces of body sculpture, jewelry like pieces of such scale that they become like armor. These kinds of dramatic pieces were always in demand by fashion stylists, editors and photographers. This dramatic piece is composed of 7 curved slats of hammered brass sheet, connected by chain for adjustability. A true collectors item. Created in 2015.

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.
