FOR THE TRUE HORSE LOVER

The Simplicio family has long been revered for its remarkable jewelry, and this stunning piece, though unmarked, is a classic example of the family’s signature style. The focal point is a horse head in profile, crafted in an inlay style with brown shell and mother-of-pearl, with silver accents.
