Designer Artisan Jewelry Sterling Silver Beaded Necklace by Roberta Williamson

$2,880.00

Presented is a sterling silver and glass bead necklace by jewelry artist Roberta Williamson. The necklace is signed and dated 1987. The artist is known for making quirky, individualistic jewelry art using estate sale or otherwise 'found' materials, as well as stylized silver castwork of her own design. Every piece of hers is unique and one-of-a-kind, though her personal
style remains distinct.

This necklace consists of green and black glass beads in a variety of styles, interspersed with stylized silver pieces in the shape of animals and abstract designs. Some of the silver beads look like alligators, anteaters, a dog, a hand and others.

Given the distinctive and unique nature of Roberta Williamson's art, her work is highly valued. Other examples of her work can be found here: http://www.freehand.com/solditems6.html But a necklace of this size and style is incomparable.

The necklace is in great overall condition. There are no breaks and no repairs.

The necklace is signed on the hand-shaped piece, with the scratched in signature of Roberta Williamson, as well as sterling and 1987.

The necklace is about 32 inches long.

The necklace weighs 91.5 grams.
