Fred Davis created this exceptional bracelet. Its modernist design is all Taxco and, yet, unique. This vintage sterling silver bracelet is nicely crafted, with the centerpiece being a sizeable cushion-shaped cabochon cut amethyst. The design focuses your attention on the fantastic stone without diminishing appreciation for the entire piece. This important bracelet design is shown on page 29 of "Mexican Silver" by Penny Morrill and Carole Berk, Schiffer Press, 2007. According to Morrill and Berk, this piece was designed in 1930. Based on the marks, it was likely created before 1948.

This captivating sterling silver bracelet is signed with the Fred Davis FD mark, Made in Mexico and Silver. The latch is fully integrated into the amethyst setting. The piece measures 7" long, 1 1/8" wide, and weighs 48 grams. The amethyst cabochon is 1" by 1 3/4".
