About Hidalgo and his work:

35 years ago, Mr. Hidalgo decided to give up his successful career in computer engineering to pursue his passion for design. I have known him for 18 years. When we met, I saw something in him. It was his love for creating new items that gave me respect for him. I was amazed that every year, he came out with 200 or 300 new designs. Understand that many industry designers have a design team behind them. Not Silvio Hidalgo. Once I asked him, “How did you come up with the idea to make the design in this ring?” He answered, “You know how I love colorful ties? I saw a variation of this motif in a tie, and decided I had to make a ring like this.”
