MoMA Exclusive: Designer Kelsey Armstrong creates her collage-inspired jewelry from picto-charms, deadstock, and vintage and found components for her brand Haricot Vert. Each design, like this NYC Charm Pendant Necklace, is handcrafted with love in her small studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. The brand’s signature picto-charms are made from non-toxic, durable polymer and earth-friendly resin. The imagery for Haricot Vert’s picto-charms for this exclusive design is inspired by MoMA’s home in the heart of NYC and the Museum’s mission to connect people from around the world to the art of our time.
This necklace pays homage to beloved NYC food icons—a slice of pizza and a NYC coffee cup (each sold separately—and is a quirky and fun addition to any ensemble. The charms are embellished with a vintage pearl or resin gemstone. Each necklace may differ slightly due to the uniqueness of the deadstock metal chains and found embellishments. The Haricot Vert NYC Charm Pendant Necklace measures between 16 and 18” long (depending on the deadstock chain used) with a 2” extender chain.
