Obviously inspired by a similar Antonio design, this mod Margarita bracelet is spectacularly massive.

A maker whose work does not come up often but seems to have worked for Spratling at Las Delicias, Lico is distinguished by big size, absolutely powerful repousse pieces and workmanship of the highest quality. I believe the two-part belt buckle presented here supports my claim in the best possible way. Strong sense of movement and depth with the repoussage being boldly pronounced and the unbelievable patina accentuating the design's three-dimensional quality even more...

The Taller Far Fan made quality silver and the repousse on this bracelet is truly one of the finest I have seen.

The length is 7.5in. long. There are no chips to the stones or dents to the silver. It displays great dimension with the full repousse links...
