    Necklace, made of bras, I know this is probably an artisan piece. I am wondering if there is a name for this particular style where there is an opening in the loop? Thanks

    It is a torque- (or torc-) style necklace. Modern versions most often date to the 1970s. I would describe yours as "abstract floral" but someone else may have a better description.

    Has a sort of Brutalist look to me.

    Agree with Brutalist torque.

    There is certainly a Brutalist influence.
    Will a single one do?

    You could call it a brutalist artisan neck ring too, but I agree that torque will probably bring the most eyeballs without torquing anyone off. :)
