A brilliant departure for Los Castillo, this cuff presents a wonderfully fashioned latticework of sterling silver accented with silver beads. Its grandly sweeping visual effect makes genius use of ‘negative space’ to contrast warm skin tones with antique silver. Reminiscent of both the scrolling Moorish ironwork from the land of the conquistadors and the floral abstractions of pre-Columbian cultures, this design speaks eloquently to the senses and the imagination.
