Deco Fan Grey Mother of Pearl Cufflinks

Description

Art Deco fascinates me in its forward-looking effort to push natural features towards abstraction, as here, in a design of delicate radiating ribs, recalling perhaps the spreading veins of palm leaves, yet regular and formal in execution, with an infill of grey mother of pearl – of the three dyed variants I use, the one which displays the greatest range of iridescent effects, shimmering and refracting a range of subtle hues. An elegant and opulent cufflink, like the era that inspired it.
