Robert Lee Morris Gold Plated Pinched Package Necklace

This Robert Lee Morris Gold Plated Pinched Package Necklace is a good example of how Morris experimented all the time with new forms and shapes to update his very popular jewelry lines. This unusual necklace is composed of what seems like little hollow packages, maybe like pasta, or Japanese rice crackers. This most unique and odd shape is linked with invisible connections that allow each unit to sit on top of the next in a bold run around the neck. The pieces are indeed hollow as seen by looking at the back of the necklace, but the illusion of great volume is the point of this piece. Lightweight but substantial looking, the strength of this dramatic necklace is in the originality of the designs, mysterious and yet classic.
