In the late 1940's Lassaw began making one-of-a-kind welded pendants or "bosom sculptures". Later he added stones and sometimes delicate chains to some. The Kootz Gallery sold many of these pendants from around 1951 until they closed the gallery in 1968. There are well over a thousand pendants out in the world. Beginning in the late 70's most pendants were plated with gold and a few others with silver. He also made a few belt buckles and on special order ceremonial breastplates.
