Robert Lee Morris Graduated Alpha Chain Gold Plated Brass Necklace

The Robert Lee Morris Graduated Alpha Chain Gold Plated Brass Necklace is an example of the organic direction that Morris has pursued for decades. These gnarly forms are softly carved from wax, and reveal a biological connection between the castings as each is growing out of the next. The center ball is the base from which two tapering tendrils of chain reach out and clasp behind the neck. The Alpha chain was first invented/created in the mid 1980’s, as Morris continued to grow and develop his quarterly collections. This necklace is especially rare due to its dramatic and hypnotizing construction, and hefty weight. This is solid cast brass that is electro plated in 24k gold, iconic RLM jewelry from the 1980’s period of jewelry mania in fashion. This is a short necklace at 16.5″ so it sits at the base of ones neck. There is also the vintage RLM disc signature at the closure.
