About the Item

A very early Robert Lee Morris Necklace, this design if silver tubing, balls, coils and coconut shell, is very iconic of the first decade of Morris' designs. Created originally in the mid to late 1970's this series is unique and one of a kind. This particular necklace was actually re-created, (still one of a kind) for a Donna Karan Fall 2007 runway show. I is stunning, dramatic and extremely fascinating as an assemblage of silver and black coconut shell "percussion" or visual rythems. The necking fits a 15" neck, and from it the pectoral piece hangs 4.5" down from it. the two balls that hang at the bottom are quite flexible and move with the body.

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. 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...
