About:
Californian sculptor and artist Mary Oros created an iconic and highly sought-after jewelry line from 1986 to 1990. Each piece is made of cast resin, colored individually in vibrant metallic paint hand-selected by Mary herself, and covered in acrylic for shine and durability. Some pieces were made to look like stones, and some were made to look like brass or silver.
The whole collection was an outstanding statement. Mary Oros's work was featured in Bazaar and other high-end fashion magazines in the late 1980s and has attained a highly collectible status since then.
