Necklace
In graphic black and white, this Art Deco necklace radiates modernism. Art Deco design was based on mathematical and geometric shapes, and this sleek necklace combines the two variously shaped angular faceted elements to create a sophisticated piece of jewelry. The stark color combination and simplicity of the elements is visually impressive. The necklace was owned by legendary actress Lauren Bacall, who gave many pieces from her personal wardrobe to the Brooklyn Museum.
