A maker whose work does not come up often but seems to have worked for Spratling at Las Delicias, Lico is distinguished by big size, absolutely powerful repousse pieces and workmanship of the highest quality. I believe the two-part belt buckle presented here supports my claim in the best possible way. Strong sense of movement and depth with the repoussage being boldly pronounced and the unbelievable patina accentuating the design's three-dimensional quality even more. Just an amazing, rare to fi...

Beautiful, heavy vintage Deco necklace in the style of Aguilar's "half tubular link" design, I am not sure how to present this to you and what attribution to make. It is not signed at all but the construction, weight and quality make me believe that it could be a Hector original. Yet would anybody in their right mind remove the hallmarks link? In any case, here it is, measuring a wearable 15" long (total length is actually 16 1/4") by 7/8" wide and weighing a generous 91.9 grams. Unsigned as me...

This is a noted Los Castillo design but these stones make this piece stellar on it's own merit. There is no damage of any kind and the workmanship is superb with a JV noted hallmark as shown. This is a special p...

A very interesting yet no less monumental bracelet by Enrique Ledesma in which the maestro combines modernist silver work with curved stone tubes left unpolished- a rather unusual choice for him. I am intrigued by the combination and think that the stones are actually malachite with veins of pyrite in them. Vividly colored, the bracelet has a stunning presence because of its magnificently architectural links and it feels divinely around the wrist. It has an inner circumference of 6 1/2" (claspe...
