Hector Aguilar was among the makers who made Taxco a center of modern silver, and this necklace reflects his practice of setting metal against richly colored stone. Pairing silver with malachite gives the design a strong contrast between the cool tone of the metal and the deep green of the stone.
The necklace features malachite as its primary material, lending the piece its color and natural patterning. It belongs to the period of Aguilar's mature work between 1939 and 1962.
