Celebrated tear drop design features seven huge, stunning amethyst drops embraced by Antonio’s swooping geometry to balance precisely on the collarbone. The piece stands up slightly from the shoulders to frame the wearer’s throat –it’s at once regal, feminine and very sexy. Huge matching earrings complete the Audrey Hepburn effect. Morrill and Berk feature a bracelet of this design as Plate XII-17 in Mexican Silver. A showstopper when worn, this mid-‘50’s set is a fabulous collector’s find.
