She lived and worked in that country and drew inspiration from ancient Inca goldwork to create masterpieces in silver...

I am very partial to this early, as evidenced by its design number, Los Castillo necklace because it was the first "big name" Mexican piece I ever acquired year ago. Its intricate knot and bead medallion with the teardrop dangle is so enchanting to look at - the circles and curlicues and spheres seem to be in a constant flux. The same sense of movement is mirrored in the links of the chain as they alternate facing opposite directions - just masterful...

Most spectacular is the heavy three dimensional hourglass charm hanging from the bracelet. Many times, if one can find the bracelet, the hourglass is missing so to have th...
