Desperately Seeking Memphis!

Rosanna Arquette would have killed for these, and Madonna would have bitched until she got them! All three of these necklaces are in the Memphis style, which was an Italian furniture movement headed by Ettore Sottsass that became synonymous with 80's style. These iconic necklaces capture the "over-the-top" avant-garde images that were coming out of the 1980's. The designer is Unknown, but every one is a work of art in and of itself. Each is constructed from white metal chain with foam and plastic geometric shapes dangling all over the chain. It's like, Oh my God, totally for sure, like the most Bitchi'n necklace EVER!
