A beautiful heavy large bangle that would look great when layering with other bracelets or simply by itself. This piece is unmarked but fully tested for sterling. Several published photographs of Frida Kahlo show her wearing very similar amethyst bangles along with several other silver pieces on the same arm. Very Mexican, very Mid Century. Measures 8-1/2" in internal perimeter and 1/2" wide. The stones are all intact and the piece has no signs of damage or repairs.

Another great addition to our collection of Mexican repousse pieces, this is a well execute silver cuff with a lovely floral design that repeats along the cuff. The technique is quite evident on the surface where carving on the surface complements the back embossing (repousse). The cuff is in excellent condition and measures 5-3/4" of wearable length with a 1" gap/ The width is 1-1/4" evenly around. Marked Sanborns . COLLECTOR QUALITY
