Hector Aguilar helped turn Taxco into a center of modern Mexican silver, and this necklace shows his taste for pairing metal with dark, polished stone. Setting silver against onyx produces the kind of restrained, high-contrast effect that runs through much of the period's work.
The necklace takes onyx as its primary material, the stone anchoring the design. It dates from the years of Aguilar's independent practice, roughly 1939 to 1962.
