Published in Penny Morrill's latest book on Margot de Taxco's enamel work, the so called "Curling Lines" necklace is one of her most loved designs and definitely a piece that epitomizes her understanding of femininity and elegance. Deeply sculpted repousse links that bring to mind feathers dotted with perfect silver beads, lead to a gorgeous central piece where the silver twists and twirls like waves in the sea. Craftsmanship of the highest level, attention to detail and perfect finishing are all present here - as is always the case with Margot jewelry. A stunning necklace, impervious to fashion whims, it measures a wearable 15 1/2" long (possibly even 15 3/4"). It is 3/8" wide at the chain while its central part is 2 7/8" wide with a total drop of approx. 1 7/8". It weighs 60.5 grams and is fully and appropriately signed with Margot's name, des. no 5337 as well as Eagle 16 assay mark and "STERLING MADE IN MEXICO". Dating in the 1950s-60s and in excellent vintage condition with fantastic patina and no flaws noted.
