Hector Aguilar Sterling Silver and Malachite Mendering Lines Cuff

Item #4339

 

This is a very striking collector quality cuff. Like most of the pieces I'm drawn to, this has a great geometrical design, vaguely historical, but with a fresh modern interpretation. Did Aguilar see Spratling's pyramid inspired designs, or vice versa?
