Deco Fan Blue Mother of Pearl Cufflinks

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 leaves, yet regular and formal in execution, with an infill of blue mother of pearl, the coolest and most understated of the three dyed variants I use. Elegant and opulent, like the era that inspired it.
