A NEW AESTHETIC FROM OSCAR BETZ.
The creations are contemporary but the elements are ancient. Branching out from his signature silhouette of southwestern chandeliers, legendary lapidarist Oscar Betz is showcasing a single statement slab of ancient pottery shard set in an ornate hand-crafted silver bolo slide. The cord is a traditional braided leather tipped with sterling silver aiguillettes.
