MODERNIST PRIMITIVIST FRINGED NECK RING
Very interesting piece -- the ring is heavy gauge round silver wire with a bulbous end on the hook part of the clasp -- it is strung with some apparently ancient brick red jasper bead cylinders -- some heavy silver tube beads -- long bone bead drops and long flattened silver drops -- there are also two apparently ancient glass "agate" beads similar to ones used by Ed Wiener -- I'm not suggesting that this is by him but rather that the beads are appropriate for a modernist piece -- one silver drop is marked STERLING and has other marks that I can't discern (please check the photos) -- about 5 inches in diameter - the longest drop is about 2 inches long
