About the Item
In 1991, Robert Lee Morris collaborated with Donna Karan on her Fall collection and this concave collar was one of the key signature elements shown with the clothes. This was a futuristic looking collection and the very pure and simple sweeping lines of the jewelry and belts, all matte gold plated brass, helped create a sensational collection. The concave collar was first designed in the very late 1970's and throughout the years Robert developed the Concave Collection as one of his most signature. The thick edge on each piece gave a strong backbone of support for the sheet metal as it was bent into a curve, thus causing the metal to sink inwards in a perfect concave shape. This simple collar, which is open in the back and slips onto the neck very easily, is somewhat flexible so the wearer can squeeze it closed just enough to stay on all day. In the DK show, models often wore two of these collars stacked, and that enhanced the futuristic, telescoping, industrial feel that was needed. The luscious buttery gold is semi shiny, toned down, and looks every bit like pure gold.

Robert Lee Morris Vintage Gilded Mask Necklace
By Robert Lee Morris
Located in New York, NY
This one of a kind gold plated brass piece was never sold as part of the wholesale collection of Robert Lee Morris. It instead was carved and created by him in 1983 when he was experimenting with so many new ideas. The fascinating mask carving could be both an exaggerated bird scull or part of a jet propulsion engine, the design is modern and futuristic. This is part of the large group called Casual Gold, quirky, unique experimental pieces during Morris's growing years.
There is a large body of jewelry created by Robert Lee Morris called Casual Gold. They are made by rearranging the many RLM vocabulary components into new and interesting configurations. All necklaces...
