NATIVE, FUNK, AND FLASH

Alex & Lee jewelry holds a special place in the heart of Decades. We have long-admired the one-of-a-kind designs of Alex & Lee which mix found materials with signature hand-dyed cord and intricate metal work. To learn more about the history of Alex & Lee click here. The necklace below is circa 1974 from their "Santa Barbara Period." It's bold, it's unusual, and it's a statement. Around five years ago, Decades had a very large collection of vintage Alex & Lee, so we were delighted when this piece recently came our way. We are excited to find out which Decades client will have the cahunas to boldly go where only the truest Fashionista will go!
