This contemporary piece by Agnes Seebass is simply gorgeous. Her description is of "forged elements with texture". Agnes uses silver 950 (higher than sterling) to manufacture her pieces. All of her work is hand-wrought. The quality of this piece is exceptional. Each link is textured with very small dots created using a permanent oxidation technique. In our opinion, now is the time to begin collecting the work of Ms Sebass. In the words of one of our clients "her work is True Couture" COLLECTOR QUALITY

Heavy early Los Castillo Metales Casados collar necklace. This is a solid, heavy necklace made of sterling and bras. The Metaes Casados or Married Metals was mastered by the talleres of Los Castillo and Ana Nunez (Victoria/Cony). The technique used to make these pieces required patience and dexterity. The technique has been abandoned due to its difficulty and complexity. Therefore, these vintage Metales Casados pieces are to be considered as pieces of a lost art. COLLECTOR QUALITY
