This 'Nocturnal Flutters' link bracelet by Independent Artisans is a mystical and elegant piece inspired by Mexican folklore. Francisco Sánchez, known as Citlali, creates a link bracelet where mystic butterflies flutter around a night created by a natural onyx jewel. The oxidized finish enriches the enchanting theme, making the piece feel both ancient and contemporary. Each butterfly carries the symbolism of a "star," offering wearers a luminous connection to Mexico’s cultural and artistic heritage.
Francisco Sánchez, known artistically as Citlali, meaning “Star” in Náhuatl, is a celebrated Mexican jeweler whose career spans more than five decades. The second generation of a family of jewelers, he founded his workshop in 1968 and continues to design each piece himself. His studies in architecture, painting, and sculpture inform his bold, culturally inspired jewelry, often drawing from pre-Hispanic codices and Mexican folklore. Using silver with Italian alloys and specialized techniques, he creates designs that honor tradition while embracing contemporary style. Over the years, Francisco has exhibited internationally in the U.S., Europe, and Asia, and received recognition including the Jalisco Award in Jewelry Design in 2000. Today, his workshop is also home to the third generation, as his daughters have joined the craft. Each signed piece carries the symbolism of a “star,” offering wearers a luminous connection to Mexico’s cultural and artistic heritage.
Handcrafted in Mexico with 925 sterling silver and natural onyx, this 7.3-inch bracelet has an oxidized finish and fastens with an S-hook clasp.
