Robert Lee Morris Gilded Egg Belt/Necklace
About the Item
Created in 1987 for the Donna Karan collections, where the theme was soft pebbles, this belt length necklace is composed of repeating egg forms that are solid brass, plated in a semi shiny gold. Used as belts these softly gliding forms added to the sensuality of the clothing collection. Rich gold worn against beige or brown cashmere sweaters was a drop dead look. A one of a kind piece, as each one was made by hand and each was slightly different in size or proportion for the DK collection. This is the last remaining belt in the RLM archive library.

- Robert Lee Morris Flared Egg Burst NecklaceBy Robert Lee MorrisLocated in New York, NYCreated in 1986, as part of a huge family of egg themed jewelry, this is part of the Wabi Sabi collection. A blend of oxidized brass and copper the simplicity of this design is part of its dramatic charm. Individually constructed hollow ovalized components hang from a chain separated by copper beads. The coloration of this piece is warm and non conventional, typical of the breaking of new ground Morris accomplished with his fashion jewelry. 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...Category
