I believe that her talent and the quality of her work combined with the fact that she is one of the few known female contributors to the country’s 20th c. Silver Renaissance more than warrants the… “transgression”...

I have said in the past that Erika Hult de Corral is among the few designers in the world of vintage Mexican silver jewelry for whom I will cross the 1980 threshold. Having studies in the Parson’s School of Design in Paris, she worked with both Ledesma and Sigi Pineda in Taxco before she ventured on her own in the 1960s. Ric’s work can be inspiring when one catches her in her good moments and I am constantly in search of good examples signed by her. Her post-1980 creations often bring togeth...

Massive runway gilt sterling Marc Jacobs bracelet. Huge textured rectangular blocks (1 1/2” (3.7 cm) x 7/8” (2.4 cm) x 3/4” (2 cm) are hinged together in a brick pattern & closed with a beautifully engineered screw pin. The bracelet is heavy—13.5 oz or 383 grams. Laid flat, it measures 11” (28 cm) long, but this number is deceiving—because of the depth of each block, the bracelet will fit a small to medium wrist—my wrist measures 6.5 “ & it is a little big on me.
