Unique 1950s Gerardo Lopez Taxco Mexico Sterling Silver Wave Scroll Bracelet

Description: It's been a while since I presented a piece by Gerardo Lopez but he is one of my favorite Taxco maestros, a talented silversmith and designer who excelled in the art of repoussage. I believe Lopez was at his best when he created pectoral necklaces and bracelets and it is an exquisite example of the latter form that I am showing here. Definitely inspired by Los Castillo and Margot de Taxco (I have suggested in the past that Lopez must have worked for either one or both of the famous workshops) this is a glorified Wave Scroll Bracelet design, bold in the way the motifs unfold themselves, perfectly finished and undoubtedly not for the faint-of-heart. Size bracelet is 7" inches long by 10mmwide weight 30.7grams Gerardo Lopez Gerardo Lpez In the 1950s, Gerardo Lopez had a highly regarded Taxco shop and his silver jewelry was well regarded. His large factory and shop were recommended by guidebooks as one of the best silver shops in Taxco. Lopezs beautifully aged sterling draws inspiration from Colonial Spain and Art Nouveau. Some of his work can be mistaken for early Margot de Taxco. The silver jewelry creations designed by Lopez (and now his son, artisan Julio Csar Lpez Heydeck) is known as hollowware that is sterling silver or better and can be very heavy. Designs are often strong and bold and, sometimes, surprisingly, delicate. The pieces have a visual and tactile impact that exemplifies jewelry creation thats been produced in Taxco for generations. Swirling lines are often accented by deep oxidation highlighting softly gleaming surfaces of domes, beads, fronds and teardrops. Lpez bracelets, necklaces, and earrings are attention grabbers that can be worn as an ensemble or separately. Other notable Lpez pieces display ocean surf and scrolling waves as well as warrior motifs inspired by pre-Columbian art found in Mayan and Aztec decorations that adorn ancient temples.
