Hector Aguilar helped establish Taxco as a serious center for modern silver, and this necklace reflects his willingness to pair metal with hardstone for contrast in color and material. That interest in setting the cool tone of silver against natural stone was a recurring thread in the silver of his era.
The necklace incorporates hardstone as its primary material, a choice that grounds the design in weight and earthy color. It dates from the span of Aguilar's independent work, roughly 1939 to 1962.
