Erika Hult de Corral Ric Mexican silver mod waves Ring

It seems that I will be closing the year with modernist pieces by Erika Hult de Corral. I have already presented two of her necklaces in the last few weeks which have already found new caretakers and this evening it is time for a ring. Though rings are not an uncommon form in the world of vintage Mexican silver jewelry, I have to admit that the examples available usually fall on the conservative side of design but from time to time something interesting and eye-catching shows up. This modernist beauty will hug your fingers in layered, stylized geometric waves wrought in sterling, with a soft, silky finish…
