ArgentinaThe land of silver, Argentina, is a land of immigrants, 90% of which are European descendants, predominantly Italian and Spanish. A melting pot of curious, educated peoples, wildlife, and terrain ranging from massive waterfalls, painted deserts, the wild Antarctic, vast, fertile and grassy Pampas, and the cosmopolitan Buenos Aires, where dancing a warm night away into the early hours in a Milonga, to the tune of a Tango is common practice. The tango is a "living act in the moment as it happens"; a passionate exchange of male and female energies, nuanced by tradition, spiritual and artistic expression. And then there is the history of the Gaucho; nomadic, skillful horsemen still revered for their quiet disposition, strength, honesty, and humble way of life. Stylish in their Turkish inspired, loose fitting trousers called bombachas; Gauchos also wore wool ponchos which they belted with a tirador, and a lariat or riata necklace. Their exacting boleadoras, a throwing weapon consisting of three leather bound rocks tied together with long leather straps, along with a knife were accessories they utilized in hunting. Exquisitely crafted silver conchos, gorgeous saddles and braided bridles adorned their horses. Their legendary lifestyle, communing with nature is something that strikes a chord of melancholy amongst young Argentine to this day. Our Argentina Liquid Metal Bracelet utilizes a unique "flame fusion" technique called Liquid Wave Solder. It is from Sergio Gutierrez' Roots collection; silver plated, ball chain jewelry creations. The Liquid Roots are exclusively finished with an antique silver, oxidized finish.
