Margot swoops rich clouds of color around the wrist, her artist's eye juxtaposing deep ruby red, dark chocolate, aqua blue and wheat in an effect recalling the brilliance of an Aztec feathered mosaic.  The enameled panels' slightly overlapping planes lend depth to the design, giving the curls a dynamic sense of movement.  By choosing unusual colors and overlapping a simple repeating form, Margot's artistry makes what would otherwise be a straightforward piece provocative and fascinating.  A superb example of Margot's genius, it makes a confident, chic and timeless statement.
