Miller had previously created two smaller, less ambitious works in this \u201cgold nugget\u201d or \u201cfragment\u201d style in 1971 and 1986, but the Taft necklace synthesizes his understanding of weight, balance, texture, and form in a way unlike any other work before or after. It is a masterwork of goldsmithing and represents a pinnacle in his career.",
