Product Details

Pictured is an original, artist-signed modernist collar necklace handcrafted in sterling silver with a substantial natural amber cabochon. This sculptural piece was created by American studio artist Aaron Rubinstein and is hand-engraved, signed, and dated 11-02-1999 on the reverse. The design features an architectural collar form with sweeping asymmetrical lines, heavy gauge sterling construction, and a large domed amber centerpiece. This is a true studio jewelry piece, not mass-produced or commercial jewelry. The craftsmanship, scale, and balance reflect intentional modernist design. The amber has been tested using the blue light method and displays natural internal inclusions. The sterling structure is solid and substantial, not lightweight or wire-thin.
