ABOUT THE ARTIST:
Sadly to say, Leo passed away in Spring 2025. So unfortunately, unless you find someone who had some of his work in stock or pieces that are vintage, there will be no new jewelry made by him. I know his ultra-beautiful gemstone creations will truly be missed — he was a major figure in the industry with a distinct signature style, to where you never had to second-guess who had made the piece. His artistry, careful workmanship, and unmistakable designs left a lasting impression on collectors and fellow artists alike.
Years back, Leo once teamed with renowned southwestern artisan Don Lucas, but unfortunately the two went their separate ways years ago and pursued individual paths while still maintaining notable similarities in style. Both artists favored multi-colored stones arranged in clustered settings with a variety of shaped cuts, yet Leo distinguished himself by incorporating signature southwestern materials such as turquoise, spiny oyster, and coral, and then pairing those with the most magnificent, vibrantly colored faceted semi-precious gemstones. That combination gave each piece a more top‑notch, high‑end feel and an ultra‑glamorous look that pushed Southwestern jewelry beyond strictly traditional boundaries.
One thing I have always admired is Leo’s mastery of the color wheel — if you’re not familiar, he often placed two colors opposite each other on the wheel for maximum contrast and impact. This necklace is a perfect example, where he paired purple with greens (which includes yellow), creating striking tension and harmony. Regardless of trends, he had a remarkable eye for color and an instinct for knowing which hue to place next to another so the overall design would truly pop. Now more than ever, anything of Leo's will always be in demand & his jewelry is found in more higher end galleries/stores.

THE BRACELET:
If anyone’s designs can make you feel like a “million‑dollar, high‑glam royal Queen,” it’s the work of Leo. He consistently delivers nothing less than an explosion of sparkling gems that catch the eye and gleam from a distance, no matter how close or far you are!!
I have to admit, this bracelet has some of the finest, absolutely killer colored cuts of amethyst that you’ll ever lay your eyes on!! You just don’t find this depth of color anywhere, and my guess is Leo definitely had to dish out some good money to secure such high-quality stones. They are an unbelievably royal purple, and with all that faceted sparkle added in, the bracelet is elevated to a whole new level and beyond.
Made with faceted cuts of Peridot & Amethyst, this is designed in a purple-and-lime theme…This ultra magnificent link bracelet is made with 5 panels that graduate down in size from the largest center panel.
I truly wish I could capture the actual high amount of sparkle this has! It’s honestly unbelievable! It would be the perfect call for ANY high end event!! Guaranteed! Would make a Excellent Gift!
SIZING:
This is made in a slightly adjustable size that goes from a 7.5” to a 8.25” length. I want to mention that if your wrist size is larger, you can always take it to your reputable jeweler & they can add as many round extender links as you need!

PLEASE READ:
****I do not consider myself a 'professional photographer" but I do try to give you photos that are 'realistic" in color. I find however, that photographing anything with 'yellow' in it, (oranges, greens) can come up a little more vivid than other colors, so please take this into consideration. So you can get a general idea of the color, I photographed this in front of 3 different back drops (the dark makes it come up a tad more vibrant) So please go through each photo. Please understand that each monitor varies and also plays a role in how vibrant or less vibrant as something appears. *****
To give you close up photos,pictures can tend to makes the item look GIGANTIC & everything is more magnified than in actuality. So to get an accurate idea of how big this is ,please either check it out on the mannequin (photo 2 ) or you can pull out a tape measure & compare to my given measurements.
