A TOM BINNS 'FOUND' PEBBLE AND SILVER LINK BRACELET AND EARRINGS SET
USA, c.1992

A sculptural and highly distinctive jewellery set by Tom Binns, dating to circa 1992, comprising a necklace formed from drilled and polished natural pebble elements, linked with oversized silver-tone metal rings and interspersed with hammered disc accents, together with a pair of matching pebble drop earrings. The use of found natural materials reflects Binns’ early experimental practice, aligning with the arte povera-influenced movement within late 20th century jewellery design, where raw and organic elements are elevated into wearable form. Works by Tom Binns from this period are represented in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, underscoring the designer’s position within the wider context of contemporary art jewellery. Bracelet stamped Sterling silver measures 19cm x 3cm. Earrings drop 5cm each

Condition: Good, consistent with the age and nature of this lot; surface wear, minor abrasions to the pebble elements and patination to metal fittings are evident. Prospective buyers are advised to study the photographs carefully and are welcome to request further information prior to bidding.
