*TO FIND YOUR BRACELET SIZE: Using a flexible tape measure or strip of paper, measure your wrist just below the bone (about where you would wear your bracelet). If you want the bracelet to fit tightly, add circa 1/4-1/2” to that measurement. If it you want it looser, add a bit more. Experiment to see what would feel comfortable.

We haven’t found much listed about R Rivera’s jewelry but his work did merit a listing in Hougart’s THE LITTLE BOOK OF MEXICAN SILVER TRADE AND HALLMARKS, Third Edition (as described above). The other works by Rivera all have very graceful curves. This design seems more exciting with the incorporation of the amethyst stones in the sweep of the curve.
