Abraham Paz Mexican Deco silver and obsidian Bracelet

Abraham Paz is that amazing designer behind some of the most recognizable Mexican Art Deco beauties, many of which you probably seen bearing Fred Davis’s hallmarks. Paz’s jewelry epitomizes the period’s love for clean geometric motifs and minimalist renderings of the human figure. In this stunning bracelet layered rectangular silver frames house the most magical pieces of obsidian I have seen. Notorious for being very hard to carve, the obsidian is so clear and translucent, you can easily see through it when you hold the bracelet against the light…

PS: The narrower version of the design shown in one of the photos is also available in my inventory - please ask if you don’t see it listed here
