Cultured pearls set into sterling silver give this bracelet a softer register than Teran's geometric modernist work, pairing the cool metal with the warmth of pearl. The combination of precious metal and organic gem is handled in the disciplined, sculptural manner of the Taxco school in which Teran trained.
Teran learned his craft at the center of that school, an early zorrita at Spratling's Las Delicias and then a designer at Los Castillo, prized as an outstanding designer and technician before he opened his own workshop (Morrill, p. 206). A pearl-set silver bracelet reflects the jewelry side of an output otherwise dominated by his mosaic-and-brass hollowware.
