Shield Link Necklace

Héctor Aguilar was one of the central figures of the Taxco silver revival, and the link necklace is among the forms closely associated with his structural approach to jewelry. His work consistently favored the strength and rhythm of well-made construction, and a chain of repeating links is that sensibility distilled.

Worked in silver, the necklace draws its character from the repetition and articulation of its links, a design that moves with the wearer and reads as both modern and substantial. It belongs to the years of Aguilar's mature practice between 1939 and 1962.

Necklaces in this link form recur within Aguilar's output and remain a recognizable point of entry for collectors of mid-century Mexican silver, while still carrying the maker's distinctive hand.
