Extraordinary Julie Rubano statement necklace and matching wrap bracelet featuring a dramatic black-and-gold sculptural design with unmistakable runway presence.
The necklace is constructed from repeating molded black resin/composite elements with raised teardrop and dotted detailing, linked with antiqued gold-tone ribbed beads to create a wide, flexible collar. A long articulated center drop extends dramatically down the torso, giving the piece a corset-like, harness-inspired silhouette with strong avant-garde and couture influence.
The matching bracelet is formed from the same black sculptural elements and gold-tone beads in a flexible wrap / bypass-style construction that winds around the wrist.
Despite the scale, the molded black elements keep the set relatively lightweight and wearable, while the articulated construction allows the necklace and bracelet to move and conform naturally to the body.
One-of-a-kind design; only one was made.
A bold, architectural Julie Rubano collector piece with exceptional runway impact.
Era: Circa 1990s (estimated).
