Antonio’s iconic and intensely face-flattering collar bathes the wearer in its silvery glow. The edgy ridges and angles of this Modernist creation were made to catch and reflect light. Makes the skin look amazing! (The Huntress couldn’t resist posing with this on her Home Page … totally fabulous)! This piece is an engineering triumph, with each segment separately fabricated, precisely graduated and closely joined to achieve a comfortable, flattering fit. One of Antonio’s best-loved and most recognized designs, appearing as Plate XII-8 in “Mexican Silver” by Penny Morrill.
