Inspired by a necklace given to Robert Mapplethorpe by Patti Smith for his 23rd birthday.
"The sixties were coming to an end. Robert and I celebrated our birthdays. Robert turned twenty-three. Then I turned twenty-three. The perfect prime number. Robert made me a tie rack with the image of the Virgin Mary. I gave him seven silver skulls on a length of leather. He wore the skulls. I wore a tie. We felt ready for the seventies.
'It's our decade,' he said."
- Just Kids, by Patti Smith
The chain is a brass base plated with black rhodium. Over time, your necklace will settle into a vintage, worn in feel as the plating slowly wears away.
