Inspired “Angel” necklace features intricate shadowbox cutouts on spacious medallions flanked by double balls, a triumph of Victoria’s controlled artistic perfection. A similar design with a double row of smaller cutout panels appears as Plate IX-20 in Morrill and Berk’s Mexican Silver. Evocative of both Modernist and Pre-Columbian motifs, the “Angel” with its serene and protective outstretched wings creates a fascinating interplay of glowing silver against abstract darkened recesses. This sought-after and beloved design is both charismatic and looks incredible on.
