A heavy silver large-link bracelet relies on nothing but scale and the weight of its links, the early Taxco workshop trusting substantial metal and clean proportion to carry a piece. The large links give it presence on the wrist without figure, stone, or applied ornament.
The bracelet dates from the first design period, 1931 to 1946, the founding years of Spratling's Las Delicias taller in Taxco. Its appeal is the heft and the rhythm of the links.
Heavy link bracelets are among the most enduringly wearable pieces of early Spratling, valued by collectors for the way solid silver reads on the arm.
