María Belén Nilson
Originally from Argentina, Maria moved to Mexico with nothing & put herself where she is today..Her name has gotten to be so big,that she now runs 2 shops in Mexico, one in San Miguel de Allende & the other in Taxco, Mexico. Everything she designs is inspired from the rich tapestry that exists in Mexico, from the people to the artistic culture that seems to thrive in this country.. Now one of Mexico's top leading female designers,she is not only a very respected designer there, but one of the most impressive business people I happen to know.
Maria makes it a point to separate herself from many other manufactures by giving each piece the individual attention & love they deserve,since everything is totally hand fabricated by the hands of skilled Mexican artisans.You can see & feel this 'human touch' that is obvious in her jewelry,as well as the patience,compassion & consideration that each piece is given.
ABOUT RETICULATION:
Reticulation is a process that gives the metal a texture.The jeweler has to be skilled at this technique,since a ton of heat is used to create the piece.Reticulation is a process where the metal is repeatedly heated and quenched and pickled.The technique of reticulation is a one of a kind process & you never know what’s going to happen and what happens, can never be repeated..Each piece is like a fingerprint & has it's own identity.No two pieces of reticulation are the same and even within the same piece, a pattern can be very regular, but will never have a true repeated design.This technique is extremely time consuming & takes knowledge & skill to achieve the final result!
What you get with reticulated jewelry is a fabulous textured finish & seems to make the sterling stand out like nothing you've seen before!

DESCRIPTION:
Personally,there is nothing more attractive than pure metallic silver! Metallic helps sterling to shine on a much more grander scale! This sparkles with a glittering,radiate sheen like you’ve never seen & is made with heavily textured, irregular shaped panels, that shimmer with movement! Each reticulated panel is bordered by a flattened high polished bezel & is what gives off sparkle when the light hits it.
This was given alternating panels of horizontal & vertically laid panels that are connected by soldered “O” rings on the backside. The gauge of sterling is on the lighter side & makes it very wearable.It has a 7” length & given a 1” extender.
This has a very contemporary & super classy look to it & I do trust that you will get compliments when you wear this! Makes a great gift!
