Perfect for the medium to smaller wrist, this vintage modernist Enrique Ledesma hinged bracelet features a big, asymmetrical medallion with green stone inlay in the "mozaico Azteca" tradition of the Los Castillo. The transition from stone to metal is seamless and if one looks closely (in the photos it is more evident thanks to the macro lens), one can see evidence of the maestro's polishing wheel that brought the two surfaces together in a perfectly smooth union. The bracelet has a 6" inner circumference (clasped) and its front medallion is 2" tall by 2" wide. Its width at the wings is between 1/2" and 3/8" and it weighs 39.4 grams. It is fully signed with Ledesma's signature as shown as well as "HECHO EN MEXICO", TAXCO 925" and dates in the 1940s. In excellent vintage condition with rich dark and medium greens in the stone inlay with some black here and there, nice patina and no damage or repairs noted.
