Bolo, Inlay, Horse Profile, Turquoise, Simplicio, Vintage ‘70s, 3004
SIMPLICIO SAYS IT ALL
The Simplicio family has long been revered for their talents as jewelry artisans, and this bolo attributed to Isabel Simplicio is a master class in understated intricacy. The textured sterling silver is centered by a striking inlay image of horse head in profile crafted from mother of pearl and shell, complemented by freeform nuggets of turquoise in serrated bezels. The cord is a classic braided leather tipped with sterling silver aiguillettes.
