With dramatic flourishes set against stark geometric forms in a restrained color palette, Margot’s black and silver parure recalls sophisticated, mid-century glamour.  By the mid-1950’s Margot’s workshop had drawn a coterie of celebrity fans including Lana Turner, who would buy a little something from Margot’s collection every year. This ensemble boasts a powerful presence that lends dramatic panache - fascinating with an unforgettable charisma.  A memorable set for a confident lady who doesn’t mind creating a stir.
