This turquoise necklace matters as a piece of Hector Aguilar's Taxco production, the workshop output of the silversmith who founded and ran the Taller Borda and helped define what mid-century Mexican jewelry looked like. Aguilar's name on a design places it within one of the most important workshops of the Taxco silver revival.
The necklace is a turquoise design from Aguilar's working years, which span roughly 1939 to 1962. Beyond that attribution and material, the record here is spare, and the piece is best understood simply as a documented Aguilar form rather than through any elaborated motif or construction detail.
