About the Item
Robert Lee Morris Long Gold Plated Egg Chain Necklace with Crater Pendant, created in 1987. During a period when when Morris was creating Egg themed jewelry, including using soft rounded pebbles there was a push for bigger volume with less weight in the jewelry. The fashion trends in the 1980's often centered around large volumes in clothes, hair, shoulders and jewelry. This elegant long Opera length chain is composed of hollow egg forms, linked with flat ovalized rings, supporting a large disc with a large hole just off center. The edges of the pendant, are thick and undulate organically with the smooth surface of the disc. the entire necklace is 18k gold plated brass. The round pendant is named Large Crater as it could resemble the opening of a volcano or a crater on the moon. Modern, sleek and very chic.

- 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

- Vintage Original French Medal Pendant Gold Plated Chain NecklaceBy J DAUPHINLocated in Los Angeles, CAVintage Original Marquis shaped Medal Pendant The medal has the phrase "Je suis l'Immaculée Conception" in French and translates to "I am the Immaculate Conception". The term "Immaculate Conception" refers to a doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church, which holds that the Virgin Mary was conceived without original sin. This is a unique privilege granted to Mary, as all other human beings, according to Christian doctrine, are conceived with original sin as a result of the Fall of Man. This medal could serve as a symbol of faith, a tool for prayer, or a reminder of the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. The phrase "Je suis l'Immaculée Conception" is reportedly what Mary said to Bernadette Soubirous during the apparitions at Lourdes, France, in 1858. Therefore, such a medal may also have a particular connection to the Marian devotion associated with Lourdes. On the other side of the medal it has the date 8th of December 1933 engraved which is a significant date in Catholic tradition as it is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, a holy day that celebrates the doctrine that Mary was conceived without original sin. The year 1933 marked the 100th anniversary of the proclamation of the dogma of the Immaculate Conception by Pope Pius IX, which was on December 8, 1854. A medal bearing this date could have been created to commemorate this significant milestone. It also says "S. Bernadette PPN Navars" which likely refers to Saint Bernadette...Category
