Fun Facts:  Hector Aguilar (1905-1986) was a prominent Taxco silversmith who started at William Spratling's workshop before founding his own in 1939. This type of bracelet was popular during Hollywood's Golden Age, where actresses wore affordable sparkle to mimic high-end jewelry. Rhinestones were used to imitate diamonds, with baguette cuts providing elongated sparkle and contrast to the round brilliants. Art Deco jewelry originated in Paris around the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs, blending influences from Cubism, Egyptian motifs, and machinery. Costume versions democratized the look after the Great Depression.
