Era: 1950s Size: Cufflinks Front: 2.6cm x 1.9cm Pin Front: 2.1cm x 1.2cm, Chain 3.5cm Material: Sterling Silver (925 Silver) x Glass Artist: Orvelo Country of Origin: Taxco, Mexico Weight: Approximately 19 total A vintage set of cufflinks and a tie tack purchased in the United States. A rare handmade piece by Orvelo, a silversmith from Taxco, Mexico, the holy land of Mexican silverwork. The motif is the Evil Eye, known since ancient times as the strongest amulet to ward off the evil eye. However, this piece goes beyond a mere amulet, possessing the style of a surrealist art piece, as if it had jumped out of a painting by Salvador Dalí or Magritte. High-quality art glass eyeballs are embedded, and unlike the plastic or resin often seen recently, they have a depth and a wet-like luster like real eyes. They have a realistic presence that seems to stare back at you, and it is a highly complete work. The silver parts have fine scratches and the unique tarnish of silver, but the glass parts are in good condition without any noticeable scratches or chips. This is a gem that is sure to attract attention with a punchy accent when wearing formal fashion.
