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
Based on Salvador Teran's sought-after "dancers" design, the bracelet I am presenting here was crafted in the period the renowned Mexican modernist was active by one of his contemporary Taxco maestros. Absolute minimalism, strong graphics and a sense of unencumbered, fluid motion characterize the figural overlay which dominates the shadow-box construction of the three central links. Just as in Salvador's original there are curve-topped disks and stars scattered in the frames, elements which make me wonder whether it is circus artists rather than dancers the design is supposed to represent. Gorgeous patina, impressive presence and comfortable articulation come together in a little work of mid-century wearable art...
Size / Weight: 6 3/4" long (wearable); width between 1 3/8" and 5/8"; 64.5 grams
Hallmarks / Date: "STERLING MEXICO SILVER" and a partially stamped Eagle assay mark; 1950s-60s
Condition: excellent vintage, exhibiting very good craftsmanship, with its oxidation is great shape, having wonderful patina and no damage or repairs noted
Inv# 16027
