About the Item
This set is one of many designs she did with a smoking theme. It is comprised almost entirely of plastic "strike anywhere" matches. There are over 100 matches on the necklace alone. The match sticks are celluloid, and the match heads are done in several different colors of catalin with a contrasting color painted on the tip. The bracelet is elastic, and the necklace has a celluloid chain at the back. The necklace and bracelet were both recently restrung.
It's rare to find such an unusual design as a set. They make an incredibly dramatic statement when worn together.
