About the Item
The bright green on this oxidized brass necklace is startling and dramatic. This Verdigris, this shade of mint green makes this piece so unusual and powerful as a fashion statement. Layered with ethnic beads or layered bronze chains, this is a great collectors item from the archives of Morris. Created in 1983, it is very pliable, flexible and fluid, making it comfortable too wear. Each donut or Fruit Loop disc is pinned to the one in front of it, making this chain construction very iconic. This is also quite short at 15.25" so it will sit high up on the neck.
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.

Robert Lee Morris Wabi Sabi Collection Brass Domes Chocker Necklace
By Robert Lee Morris
Located in New York, NY
This bold strong and emphatic design is constructed of large oxidized brass domes, linked into a high fitting collar. Looking medieval and luscious, like out of a a movie, this beautiful and very simple necklace commands attention even in its more subtle tones of warm bronze. It is Wabi Sabi, and is great as part of a layering of chains around the neck for a spectacular fashion moment. Each high dome is finished off with two wire bands at the bottom edge. Constructed in 1984, the rich coloration of the brass is warm and comforting.
