Missoni Fall 2008 Runway Body Necklace — Sculptural, Semi-Precious, Iconic

A dramatic, sculptural masterpiece from Missoni’s Fall 2008 runway, this oversized body necklace is one of the collection’s most iconic accessories. Designed in an open, architectural framework of gold-tone metal, the piece cascades over the torso in articulated sections, creating the effect of wearable modern art.

The necklace features Missoni’s signature fusion of natural materials and bold geometry: semi-precious stones—including malachite, tiger’s eye, jasper, and agate—are individually mounted within sweeping oval forms. Their organic color and texture contrast beautifully with the clean metallic lines, echoing the collection’s theme of earthy elegance and abstract structure.

Debuted on the runway as a statement styling element, this necklace transforms even the simplest silhouette into a fully realized fashion moment. 
It embodies the eclectic, textured, layered spirit of Missoni’s 2008 vision while standing alone as a collectible objet d’art.

A rare and highly collectible runway accessory—bold, artistic, and unmistakably Missoni—with a sculptural sensibility that echoes the futuristic geometry of Pierre Cardin’s most iconic body jewelry.

Very good vintage condition with some patina and light surface wear throughout; minor plating loss in a few areas. Includes original Missoni box.
