Hector Aguilar was among the makers who turned Taxco into a center of modern Mexican silver, and this double-chain-link necklace shows the structural sensibility that defined his work. Rather than surface decoration, Aguilar's jewelry tends to find its expression in the logic of its construction, and a linked chain is exactly the kind of form that rewards that approach.
Executed in silver, the necklace is built from two coursing chains of links, a design that gives the piece both flexibility and a substantial presence on the body. It belongs to the years of Aguilar's mature practice between 1939 and 1962.
