gorgeous Mexican silver and tiger's eye Bracelet
One of Taxco's still unidentified maestros is responsible for this gorgeous, hefty and very well made silver and tiger's eye bracelet. Carefully cut-out of thick sterling sheet, its links are inspired by Mexico's ancient Maya and Aztec civilizations yet somehow the bracelet fits perfectly in the context of mid-century design. When I first started my journey in the world of vintage Mexican jewelry, I was unfailingly attracted to pieces adorned with amethyst. Truth be told, amethyst is still my favorite stone yet all the more, as the years go by, I realize that the molten luxury hiding in the golden browns and caramels of tiger's eye have secured a special place in my heart as well...
Size / Weight: 7" inner circumference (clasped) by 1 1/8" wide; 70.7 grams
Hallmarks / Date: maker's initials "AVA" as well as "TAXCO MEXICO 925" alongside Eagle 3 assay mark; 1950s-60s
