Description This piece explores an Alpha man's ego and how he perceives his female counter-part as an "accessory". Luckily, in my world this is not standard, but in the tabloids it is still a fantastic lie to which some still fall prey. The original design was inspired by a dog chain. My goal was to show something with dominance and restraint, while having sarcastically symbolic overtones draped in elegance. To complete the statement the necklace would be complimented by a simple black cocktail dress.


This necklaces is made of silver. Each loop is soldered shut then filed, sanded with four different grades of paper and polished with tripoli and rouge.

Another inspiration for this necklace was "Loops" and this poem,

I love this design. You made it with just simple silver chain links, but the layered look in the back and the multiple different sizes of links make it look fantastic. Nicely done!

World go lovely with any black dress, and yeah I can see strong women wear this as opposed to the usual dits and such. Nice.

That is an amazing piece. I love the story/reasoning behind it.

Is it by any chance for sale or reproduction?

I don't usually sell my metal works... they take a lot longer and are made of silver. This one, for example, is about 6 feet of chain! But thank you for asking, it might motivate me to move forward.
