Mid Century Modernist Necklace • Artisan Studio Metalwork • Abstract Brass Colla

A mid-century modernist studio necklace featuring a rigid collar wire with five abstract metal plates linked across the front. Each plate has a hand-formed shape with a circular enamel-like accent at the center. The metal has an organic hammered texture and a natural aged patina that is characteristic of artisan jewelry from the 1950s–1960s.

The construction, clasp style, and material choices indicate that this piece was handmade by an independent metalsmith rather than mass-produced. The necklace has a sculptural presence and aligns with modernist jewelry produced during the mid-century American craft movement.
