This Demi-Parure was originally produced by Hector Aguilar. Aguilar was one of the original apprentices for Spratling and became equally famous for his jewelry designs. This necklace is pictured in the book William Spratling and the Mexican Silver Renaissance on page 112. These pieces have been faithfully reproduced by a master silversmith in 980 silver. The finish work is fantastic.
