About Margot
Our best selling collection yet, the Margot line—a set of bows with a beaded construction—is available in rice pearl, black onyx, silver, and teardrop pearls.
The bow is placed off-center when worn collar or choker length - it can be worn a little longer and to the front.
The earrings are constructed with dramatic tails. Available in Rice Pearl and Sterling Silver.
We worked hard to get the drape just right. The drama is provided through movement instead of visual weight.
Construction and Making Margot
We make so many design decisions along the way, so I wanted to share a few with you.
The hole size in the central bead of the bow makes a big difference in the drape of the tails. We have it drilled a little larger than necessary so that we get a nicer, more natural drape.
We use a different wire for the bow that contributes to the natural-looking drape compared to the stiffer wire use for the necklace which gives it a stronger construction.
Finishing the tails - we have a crimp bead at the end of each tail, and we drill a larger hole in the pearl or bead halfway through and then we have it epoxied in for a tight fit. We use a custom silver aglet for the silver bead version.
The tail length and bow size -
the longer tails for the earrings are the shoulder duster length that I've noticed is super-in right now, without being too visually heavy. That’s something I always want to consider, making a piece that complements your style but doesn’t overwhelm it—that’s when a piece becomes more versatile and wearable to me.
