Margot’s Art Deco parure loops graceful acanthus fronds meticulously enameled in her classic blue-and-white colorways.  The design cleverly uses color rather than surface to convey dimensionality, with the foreground shapes enameled in airy sky blue and the receding elements picked out in delicate, silver-speckled white.  This color combination flatters a range of skin tones from the most ethereally pale to burnished ebony.  Charming and feminine, this hard to find complete set offers its wearer many possibilities for adornment.
