Robert Lee Morris Sterling Silver Dancing Swans Necklace

This Robert Lee Morris Sterling Silver Dancing Swans Necklace is a great example of the unique organic style that Morris owned  during the last few decades in American Fashion. The “Swan” forms are abstract constructions of sheet and wire that resemble a bird. The bold and sculptural nature of this statement necklace is iconic RLM, with great volumes of space whipped up with the movement of all these silver parts. The centerpiece, a mixture of multiple organic and abstract but symmetrical shapes, is stunning and very dramatic. One can see the height and volume that this piece has by looking at its side view, shown in the gallery photos here. Inspired by both Mexican and Art Nouveau jewelry, there is so much movement in this necklace it seems alive.
