Substantial and quite unusual in its design this modernist Mexican silver bracelet is an Enrique Ledesma creation and it is adorned with two faceted color-change sapphires. The bracelet’s shape reminds me of ancient torques yet here the two ends bypass each other in a tight, determined embrace. I love the way the sterling tube grows in diameter as it progresses to the bracelet’s front where it is abruptly cut at an angle to accept the gemstone in a crown setting. Enrique Ledesma - always original, always amazingly good…
Size / Weight: 6” inner circumference (perfect for smaller wrists); 1 1/4” wide at center front; 77.4 grams
Hallmarks / Date: maker’s signature as shown as well as “STERLING TAXCO MEXICO”; 1950s even though I don’t see an Eagle assay mark
Condition: excellent vintage with sweeping curves and stunning gems, great patina and no damage or repairs noted
Inv# 15400
