An exceptional signed Frances Patiky Stein (FPS) couture statement necklace featuring the bold sculptural aesthetic that made her limited jewelry collections so sought after by collectors.  Frances Patiky Stein, former Vogue fashion editor and designer, is known for creating dramatic French made jewelry incorporating hand poured Gripoix glass in collaboration with the legendary Maison Gripoix atellier.  Her pieces were produced in limited quantities.  The plaques are hand hammered organic gold tone sculptural circles with those large glass gripoix glass "jewels".  This is a fantastic necklace in excellent vintage condition!  PLEASE NOTE:  Although all my jewelry listings will be marked that returns are not accepted (due to eBay's change of policy from 14 day returns to 30 days). If an item is damaged in shipment or there are any condition issues that I missed, please send me a note and a photograph.  No returns will be accepted without a photograph.   We will not accept returns because an item "does not fit" or because the buyer "changed their mind".  Be sure to check out our other listings and our eBay store items (over 3950, all on sale).  We don’t mark up our items by a great amount, so reasonable offers only please for store items. We do have a layaway plan available for items or groups of items totaling $200 or more.  I am happy to ship to third party shippers for my international clients. Great low starting bid, and being sold with NO RESERVE.
