Being offered is an exceedingly rare, arguably one of a kind, circa 1955 handmade .940 silver (better than sterling which is .925) bracelet designed by Hector Aguilar of Taxco, Mexico. Comprising heavy gauge links connected with three individual bands of silver. Dimensions: 8 inches long. Each link measures 3/4" x 1/2". Marked as illustrated in photo. In excellent condition. Great weight. Handwork is stupendous.
Very fine pair of late Art Noveau 18K gold double-sided cufflinks. The faces show a beautifully designed young woman's face stylized wisps of hair cascading around a porthole-like frame. The design is really superb. The connectors open so the cufflinks are easy to put on. The backs are marked with French 18K import marks. The rather severely stylized design suggests that they are of Belgian or German (possibly Austrian) origin.
Origin: Continental Europe, ca. 1910...
