This link bracelet is a characteristic example of the jewelry that made Hector Aguilar a leading name in Taxco's silver revival. Directing the Taller Borda from the late 1930s, Aguilar built a reputation for bold, hand-wrought silver, and the articulated link bracelet became one of the workshop's most enduring and recognizable forms.
The strength of the design lies in its construction: individual silver links joined into a supple band that moves with the wrist while keeping the substantial presence Aguilar favored. The repetition of worked links gives the piece its rhythm, and the emphasis falls on the quality of the metalwork rather than applied decoration.
As one of the more familiar forms to come out of the Taller Borda, the link bracelet remains a touchstone for collectors of mid-century Mexican silver and a steady presence in the market for Aguilar's work.
