Materials and Features:

• Monies Overlapping Scale Architecture: Engineered with a single-strand shingle-style layout where graduated beechwood tiles rest at an angle over one another, creating a continuous, nested armor-like collar with dramatic three-dimensional depth and rhythmic pattern flow.

• Color-Block Shingle Geometry: Features custom lathe-cut, curved triangular shapes mimicking a shield silhouette, graduating from large one-and-three-eighths-inch focal plates down to one-inch accent tiles arranged in high-contrast purple and coral-red blocks.

• Aniline Dye Deep Saturation: Treated with a specialized water-based organic aniline dye vat boiling process that saturates deep into the internal vascular pathways of the hardwood blanks, ensuring the vivid hues remain permanently locked within the fiber matrix without masking the natural grain.

• Authentic Beechwood Hardwood DNA: Macro analysis reveals a dense network of short, pale vertical flecks intersecting with microscopic horizontal pores, serving as the definitive cellular fingerprint of true natural European beechwood that provides exceptional structural strength at a lightweight seventy-four-gram mass profile.

• Type: Dual-teardrop interlocking carved wooden hook findings featuring precision side-slot entry channels that slide flush together under the natural forward tension of the bead strands.

• Age/Origin: Circa 1985–1989 / Danish Post-Modernist Production.

• Marks: Unmarked (Definitively attributed to the master Copenhagen atelier of Gerda Lynggaard for Monies).

• Other: This spectacular piece is a fully authenticated, un-stamped archival survivor from the celebrated Pop Art Color-Block era of Monies Copenhagen. While their animal-horn lines relied on raw carving work, this premium release showcases their signature mastery of sustainably sourced Danish hardwoods treated with deep-absorption organic dyes. The absence of a standard stamped label is not a lesser variant—it is the correct, intended physical state of their boutique-only runway production. The presence of the specialized dual-teardrop wood interlocking hooks, the hidden internal channel route for the thread, and the signature micro-drilled hollows for the heat-sealed knots serves as an unalterable factory fingerprint that proves its true high-end Danish pedigree.

Measurements:

• Weight: 74g

• Dimensions: Approx. 22.75” in total end-to-end length; larger discs measure 1.375" wide; smaller chips measure 1" wide; interlocking wood clasp finding measures 1.625" long x 0.875" wide.

• Thickness: Discs are approx. 7mm deep; carved wood clasp profile depth is 8mm uniform width.

Condition:

Very good condition. The necklace retains pristine structural integrity and thread tension across the entire single strand, with the high-tensile green nylon string showing zero stretching or fraying. The aniline-dyed beechwood components are entirely free of drying cracks, edge splits, or impact bruising, maintaining their vibrant color blocks and clean facet lines. The hand-sculpted interlocking wooden hook mechanisms operate perfectly with clean, secure alignment, and the internal heat-sealed anchor knots remain structurally locked within the hook recesses.
