Gold Sculptural Collar Necklace and Earring Suite Signed Stephen Burlingham

About the Item

This is a vintage 18 karat yellow gold nature-inspired collar necklace and earring suite designed by genius artist, scholar, thinker, and cultural researcher, Stephen Burlingham. With a career spanning locations such as the Middle East, Manhattan, Europe, and Princeton, NJ, and spanning mediums including high jewelry, perfume, fine art, and textile design, Stephen Burlingham is a creator for whom art is the ultimate meaning of life. Of Burlingham, the unparalleled Institute For Advanced Study in Princeton says, "Stephen Burlingham explores awareness with a focus on the tangible-intangible divide. Key is the paradox that our experience of self and world is sculpted equally by the seen and the unseen. His current project builds upon his definition of ART as a multi-channel communication technology that engages the psyche." Featured here is a suite made in the 1990s consisting of a highly conceptual sculptural necklace which instantly recalls visions of the barren deserts of the Middle East or of waves rolling along in the Indian ocean, the matching earrings of the same design. The pieces carry an obvious visual weight which is further enhanced for the wearer by the physical heft of the pieces. This is absolutely a one-of-a-kind opportunity and should be seriously considered by the collector who wishes to pursue museum quality jewels. -Signed Burlingham -18 karat yellow gold -Featuring a sandblasted finish -All pieces weighing a total of 165 grams -Internal necklace diameter 120mm
