Bravura treatment of the Armadillo design made famous by Hector Aguilar and Manuel Altamirano. Exceptional craftsmanship with all the design elements punched up (front panels on the necklace and bracelet are larger than either artists' versions) -- taking the term BOLD to a new standard. This set is every bit as well-executed as the Aguilar and Altamirano versions. A knock-out exuding style and confidence, it needs no apology for not having an artist's hallmark. Head-turning ensemble for the woman with Attitude!
