The artistry of Gerardo Lopez is evident in this sculptural cuff displaying powerful ocean surf and scrolling waves breaking with a crescendo along the shore. Exceptional design and workmanship in precisely framing the waves' bold raised forms with the textural interest of rippling currents and beaded bubbles. The alchemy of careful use worked over many decades on nearly pure (98%) silver has imparted an almost otherworldly glow. This piece combines beauty and power. With riveting dynamism and impressive size, it is spectacular on the wrist.
