A middle period work by Los Castillo, I love the design of this bracelet because of the way its flowing loops and bead motif belies its substantial weight. There are some pieces of jewelry that wear like a second skin - and this is one of them. When it's around your wrist, you feel its presence in a warm, intimate way - yet it's also comfortable and conforms effortlessly to your every move...

A rare find to come upon a Hector Aguilar ring - there don't seem to be many available!

Whatever the case, I would say we should be thankful for the co-operation since it makes it today possible for some of us to enjoy a well-made piece of jewelry or accessory in one of Harmon's quirky designs without having to pay the truly high prices his signed pieces comman...

The piece lays well when on the neck and the pieces fit tightly together when on. The weight is an impressive 139 grams and the length ...
