Mexican Deco silver and amethyst multi-row beaded Bracelet

A classic Mexican Deco jewelry design element silver repousse semi-spheres were used by well-known designers like Fred Davis and anonymous Taxco maestros alike. They come in all sizes and combinations, in all-silver or adorned with stones and glass, and they unfailingly make for stunning jewelry. In this hinged bangle bracelet they are clustered together in fours to create little florets with bezel-set amethyst centers. In the back, they are simply stacked in rows. Impressive in its sculpturality and the splash of semi-translucent purple across its face, the bracelet locks in the front where its two wings meet behind three big cabochons, one of them actually housing the clasp itself…
