Bertoia Short Chain Necklace

by Julie Cohn Dallas, TX Julie Cohn’s creative endeavors have come together to form her unique vision and aesthetic, characterized by the tension between rough and refined, primitive and modern, ultimately paring things down to their essence. As a self-taught jeweler, her approach is unconventional in process and begins by working directly with materials rather than sketching a preconceived idea. She finds inspiration in nature, primitive ethnic forms, indigenous crafts and old world processes. Her pieces are about possibilities for layering and stacking to create personal collages that uniquely juxtapose disparate elements with simple elegance. Inspired by the artist Bertoia, this gold filled chain is 17 inches with a lobster clasp. The fluttering nature of Bertoia's sculpture creates a transcendent place in the MIT Chapel designed by Eero Saarinen. This necklace emulates this piece. Wear it everyday on its own or layered with other chain necklaces. Limited Edition. Handcrafted in the USA.
