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
A classic, and much published, design for Hector Aguilar, the “masks” bracelet was not an example of the Taxco maestro’s work that I was particularly looking for. I considered it - let’s say - less impressive than the rest of his jewelry and resisted it for the longest of times. Until one day, I somehow ended up with one. And I fell in love- honestly. I think it is the silkiness of the well-aged fine silver and the bracelet’s incredible ability to wrap itself around the wrist as if it’s an extension of your arm, an intimate part of you, that conquered me. And exactly because it is not an overwhelming, in-your-face piece, it lends itself to be enjoyed in any and all occasions. A veritable wearable little treasure…
Size / Weight: just shy of 7 1/4” long (wearable) by 5/8” wide; 27.8 grams
Hallmarks / Date: fully and appropriately hallmarked with a combination of marks that date it in the 1948-62 period
Condition: excellent vintage, with a warmly glowing patina, silky and comfortable to wear, with no damage or repairs noted
Inv# 15491
