Amethyst and silver bracelet with rod-and-sphere segments

This is one of the stronger gemstone-set Aguilar bracelet forms. The amethyst cabochons add color and light, but the underlying silver design remains dominant. That matters: weaker Taxco pieces often use stones as decoration; stronger Aguilar pieces integrate stones into structure. Moran describes this example as amethyst cabochons alternating with silver rod-and-sphere segments, which is exactly the kind of structural gemstone use that separates Borda from ordinary tourist jewelry.
