About the Item

This striking 1990s Italian costume necklace is a bold fusion of natural materials and avant-garde style, characteristic of the era's shift toward oversized statement jewelry. The piece features a dynamic combination of rich red and deep black wooden beads, which offer a lightweight yet substantial feel for comfortable all-day wear. This earthy foundation is elevated by the inclusion of glossy black resin beads and intricate, branch-like red accents that mimic the organic look of Mediterranean coral. A dramatic, multi-strand black cord or horsehair tassel often serves as the focal point, adding a sense of movement and "Roaring 20s" flapper-inspired flair that was highly popularized in the late 20th century. True to the tradition of Italian craftsmanship, the necklace showcases a masterful use of mixed textures—the smooth, warm grain of the wood against the polished sheen of the beads and the fluid softness of the tassel. This accessory embodies the vibrant, eclectic spirit of 90s fashion, where industrial design met natural elements to create unique, wearable art. Whether styled with a simple linen dress for a bohemian-chic look or used to add a pop of color to a sleek office ensemble, this authentic vintage piece is a testament to the enduring elegance of "Made in Italy" costume jewelry.

1990s Black Wood and Gilded Brass Necklace by Monies
By Monies
Located in Aci Castello, IT
The piece is an exemplary statement necklace by the Danish design house Monies, created by Gerda and Nikolai Monies and likely dates to the 1990s. It features the brand's signature aesthetic of using dramatic, organic shapes and natural materials. The necklace is composed of numerous large, smooth, pebble-shaped beads, which are characteristic of Monies' use of dense, dark woods like Ebony. Interspersed among the black beads are a few organic, nugget-shaped pieces that are finished with a gold foil or gilded brass coating. This striking contrast between the matte black wood and the luminous, irregularly shaped gold elements embodies the Monies philosophy of blending art and nature to create sculptural, avant-garde jewelry...
