Dear Friends and Customers,
One Good Eye Silver is embarking on a big adventure as we prepare to move overseas. Though I am excited about our new beginning, I am also saddened for leaving after having spent almost thirty years in the US..
Until the move is completed, feel free to browse the site and email us with any questions you might have or to say “hi” but please do not try to purchase anything!
I am planning to re-configure the business and re-launch, from Europe this time, in the late Fall of 2024, if not earlier, and hope you will be patient and, once we are "live" again, honor us with your patronage.
Thank you very much for your trust all these years and for the thought-provoking conversations we have had - on jewelry, the history of personal adornment and life in general! See you again in a few months,
Margarita Poutouridou
One Good Eye Silver
I could never exaggerate the sparkle of the two big, faceted color-change sapphires that adorn the opposing “wings” forming the face of the modernist Enrique Ledesma Mexican hinged bracelet at hand! Set here against untreated sterling (quite often, Ledesma uses niello-type oxidation to enhance the contrast between gemstone and silver) the stones pass from amethyst to a steely purple under different light conditions thus mimicking the behavior of alexandrites…
Size / Weight: 6 7/8” inner circumference (clasped); width between 1 5/8” and 3/8”; 48.0 grams
Hallmarks / Date: fully hallmarked with maker’s signature as shown as well as “HECHO EN MEXICO”, “TAXCO”, and Eagle 3 assay mark; 1950s-60s
Condition: excellent vintage with glowing, silky patina, gorgeous stones free of chips or breaks, with no damage nor any repairs noted
