$995.00
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.
