This truly is jewelry with a purpose.
As for the bracelet itself? This isn't your average, flimsy mall jewelry. This is a heavy-duty slice of mid-century modernism handmade by Plateria FarFan in Mexico City during the 1950s or 1960s. It features beautifully geometric, thick paperclip-style links that strike the perfect balance between industrial edge and vintage luxury.
Let’s be honest: it’s bold enough to make a statement, but classic enough that you don't have to take it off when you're doing mundane things like typing emails or holding a glass of wine.
The Nitty-Gritty Details:
- Material: Solid .925 Sterling Silver
- Weight: A perfectly wearable but satisfyingly substantial 31.5 grams. You will definitely remember you’re wearing it, in the best way possible.
- Origin: Handmade in Mexico City, Mexico.
- Hallmarks: Stamped with the official Mexican government Eagle assay mark, 925, and the maker's signature FAR FAN on the underside of the clasp box.
- Closure: Features a secure, clicking box clasp and its original safety chain—because we know you'd be heartbroken if this beauty slipped off on the dance floor.
Condition:
Excellent vintage condition with an authentic patina. This piece has purposefully not been aggressively polished because the natural dark oxidation in the recessed geometric links is exactly what gives it that dramatic, vintage depth. However, if you prefer it blindingly shiny, a quick rub with a silver cloth will do the trick.
