About the Item

#3 In a limited edition of only 7 pieces, this sculptural necklace stands on its own, with more than 100 hours of work in the workshops of Romoherrera, this piece carries with it tradition and innovation in perfect simbiosis, handled by expert craftsmen who have inherited their skill throughout generarions. Inspired by the powerful scales of marine creatures, this abstract piece designed by Eduardo Herrera and crafted in silver .950 in a mate and oxidized finish, each scale is hand hammerer, cut and welded by more than 100 hinges to provide movement and flexibility. Using ancestral techniques passed on by generations Eduardo Herrera reinterprets the traditional art of silversmithing and brings a modern twist which is both bold and romantic in his workshops in Taxco, Mexico. Initially trained as an architect, EDUARDO found his passion in jewelry. As a young child, his parents introduced him to a world of art through their unique collection of XXI Latin American paintings and sculpture. Immersed in this environment, he developed a sensibility towards the artistic world. Captivated by the work of architect and muralist, Juan O’Gorman, he decided to follow a professional degree in architecture. During this time, he also worked with contemporary Mexican painters and artists. This led him to develop two parallel design drivers; that of the rational functionality of architecture and the formal aesthetic of art. As he concluded his architectural studies, he also began to create his own furniture line. Eventually, his personal life led him to Taxco, Mexico where he founded his workshop in 2011 and began working with jewelry. Both reinterpretations of natural elements and precise architectural detailing can be seen in each of Eduardo’s unique creations.
