About the Item
Rare and collectible multi-bead ceramic necklace by celebrated African-American ceramicist Doyle Lane (1925–2002). This striking piece, unworn and from the artist’s estate, features 19 hand-crafted, round blue ceramic beads, each separated by two metal washers. The beads exhibit Lane’s signature mastery of glaze, with rich tonal variations from deep cobalt to sky blue, creating a visually captivating rhythm.
The necklace is strung on a braided cord with brass end fittings and hook clasp, offering both durability and understated elegance. Lane’s ceramic works—whether murals, vases, or jewelry—are highly sought after by collectors for their artistry, craftsmanship, and cultural significance. This necklace is a wearable work of art, ideal for display or as a statement accessory.

Lapis Inlay Cuff Bracel
By Los Castillo

Magnificent sterling silver cuff bracelet designed and handcrafted by Antonio Castillo for Los Castillo, circa 1950s, in Taxco, Guerrero, Mexico.
