1960s Mexican Brutalist Brass & Onyx Handcrafted Collar Necklace
This is not a necklace. It's a manifesto.
Handcrafted in Mexico in the 1960s by a skilled artisan, this powerful Brutalist collar necklace is wearable sculpture at its most commanding. A heavily textured abstract brass bib anchors three large black onyx cabochons — bold, unapologetic, and utterly unforgettable. The heavy twisted torque collar rests against the collarbone with the quiet authority of a piece that knows exactly what it is.
The reverse tells the full story of its authenticity: Alpaca metal backing, thick hand-soldered joins, and the unmistakable stamp of "Hecho en México". Left unpolished, as serious collectors prefer — the rich aged patina is part of its soul.
