Linda MacNeil's long career as a glass and jewelry artist flawlessly come together in this new piece from her Neck Collar Series. The work features both plate and cast glass to create a sense of balance, symmetry and focal point. The color is inspired by Pantone's 2021 color orange ochre, which is found in a number of her pieces from this year.
All proceeds, including the 25% buyer's premium, benefit the James Renwick Alliance.

With over 40 years as an artist, Linda MacNeil is a pioneer in the studio jewelry and studio glass movements. In 2017, the Museum of Glass featured her in a retrospective titled Linda MacNeil: Jewels of Glass, where several of her Neck Collar works were featured. To date, MacNeil has created more than 700 necklaces, brooches, and earrings and her work is in countless collections, including some of the most coveted private craft collections in the United States.

I have gotten so many compliments on these pieces—mostly from people who aren't familiar with Linda MacNeil's work and are not collectors of contemporary glass—they just know good design and fine craftsmanship.
