Vintage Hector Aguilar for Coro bracelet found on Bonanzle

During World War II metals were in short supply in the USA, and many jewelry companies, such as Coro, contracted with Mexican silversmiths to produce jewelry on their behalf. Here is a vintage Hector Aguilar for Coro silver bracelet I found on Bonanzle, offered by the seller Claudia’s Novelties:

Here is the seller’s description:

Masterfully crafted and designed in the early 1940s in Taxco Mexico in an Art deco Style. It is comprised of 7 slightly curved three dimensional triangular links. The clasp is the push locking type and it works perfectly. In 1943 Gerald Rosenberg, the Coro Jewelry Co, entered into a business arrangement with Hector Aguilar, Taller Borda to design and produce jewelry for Coro. It is hallmarked Coro, Made In Mexico, Silver. This hallmark was used by Taller Borda from 1943-1950. It is in superior vintage condition with age associated wear with some lighr scratches to the front of the silver links but no damage, needing nothing more than a gentle polishing.

Coro jewelry made by Hector Aguilar’s Taller Borda was made from about 1943-1947.  Marks for this jewelry are shown at the Online Encyclopedia of Silver Marks here.  Take a look at other Mexican silver pieces created for Coro in a photo album here.
