His designs combined bold, sculptural forms with Pre-Columbian motifs and intricate repoussé work. In 1943, Aguilar secured a production contract with the American jewelry company Coro, creating handmade Mexican silver jewelry for the firm through approximately 1950, bringing his designs to a wider American audience.
