A statement piece crafted in .925 solid sterling .925 silver, featuring a wide silver-tone cuff bracelet with a scalloped edge and delicate openwork cutouts typically known in mexico as "Papel Picado". The band is decorated with tiny hearts, flowers, dots, and curling vine-like details, giving it a romantic, lace-inspired look. It has a hinged clasp and a bright finish.
Papel picado (“perforated paper”) is a Mexican folk art made by cutting intricate designs into brightly colored tissue paper. Artisans traditionally stack sheets and cut them by hand with small chisels, creating patterns of flowers, birds, skeletons, and other symbols. The banners are strung across streets, courtyards, and homes for celebrations such as weddings, fiestas, and Día de Muertos.
The closure adjusts to your size, adding both visual interest and an elevated designer-inspired touch. Its light weight and its clean lines make it a striking bold piece to be worn alone or pairs well with other silver jewelry.
