AUTHENTIC MARIA SNYDER ‘OLIVE’ necklace

Original MARIA SNYDER signature piece!! Amazing NYC ARTIST!! This is red enamel and has excellent weight! Would be great as a charm or switched out to leather cord! Sexy vibes if in the hollow of the neck- Should probably sell at $75 or more!! Snyder's career in fashion was spearheaded by Anouk Aimée's daughter, Manuela Papatakis. She introduced Snyder to Diane von Fürstenberg, who gave Snyder her first exhibition featuring her jewelry as art. Snyder's pieces, which included both costume and fine jewelry, were shown in Estee Lauder and Revlon advertising campaigns. Snyder then launched a fashion business. She developed collections featuring hand painted silk, elegant bead work and graphic prints. She showcased her collections in Paris and New York and began shipping to specialty and department stores around the globe. She also worked on a line of jewelry for Emilio Pucci and created fanciful bracelets for New York's Museum of Modern Art. Felissimo then partnered with Snyder and featured her wearable art and jewelry collections. Snyder was hailed by Felissimo for being "one of the first designers to introduce an exclusive eco collection from recycled materials." Her designs were worn by celebrities, models and aristocrats including: Madonna, Rosie O'Donnell, Cindy Crawford, Christie Brinkley, Anne Hearst, Mrs. Henry Ford, Princess Olga of Greece and Princess Marie Chantal of Greece.
