A vintage neck ring in brass, formed as a continuous, softly rounded collar that follows the line of the neck. The band is slightly flattened and tapers gently toward the ends. It opens and closes at the front, where the shaped terminals hook together with a simple, functional catch.
Suspended from the lower edge is a cascading arrangement of rectangular plates. They are set in graduated rows, widest at the top due to the greater number of plates, and narrowing step by step toward the bottom, creating a tapered, almost triangular silhouette. The plates are primarily brass, with some in a slightly warmer, reddish tone consistent with bronze. Each plate hangs freely, catching the light with a muted, warm tone and subtle variation in colour.
The piece carries a distinct 1970s spirit with a quiet, tribal-inspired character. Worn, it frames the neck and collarbone with presence, encouraging a natural, upright posture—confident, grounded, and quietly striking.
