A rigid torque-style collar in polished gold-tone bronze transitions into a cascade of fine multi-strand chains that drape across the front in a waterfall — the contrast between the clean geometric collar and the fluid movement of the chains is the whole point. The chains gather and release with every movement, making this a necklace that looks different standing still than it does in motion. Signed LR, made in Italy — a mark associated with finely crafted Italian fashion jewelry of the 1970s and 1980s, when Italian designers were producing some of the most architecturally considered costume pieces of the era. A confident, sculptural piece.
