Part of Margot de Taxco's astrology series, an adorable sterling silver pin for the daring Virgo - gorgeous casting, fantastic patina and a fluid nudity turn this little piece into a small work of art. I could not exaggerate its three-dimensional quality even if I wanted to. Its beguiling curves and the uninterrupted sense of movement in the maiden's body and hair is phenomenal. The brooch measures 1 3/4" tall by 1 1/8" wide and weighs 5.5 grams...

An iconic modernist motif for Mexican silver jewelry, the "fish bone" or "skeleton" seems to have inspired "big names" (Antonio Pineda and the Los Castillo being among them) and less known yet talented maestros alike. I have seen it all in silver and with stone inlay but I have never had an enameled example before. Yet here it is - electric blue champleve enamel in perfect condition; just the color you want to wear when you go to the beach this upcoming summer...

I have only had a few pieces by RafMex over the years and was happily surprised to find their signature on the necklace and bracelet demi presented here. This is the perfect set for that romantic soul who appreciates Mexican jewelry for its quality and craftsmanship but shies away from big, bold pieces. Delicate and elegantly feminine, the repousse floral links have mellowed beautifully over the years and the two pieces look gorgeous together...

From one of the most famous silver studios in Mexico comes this little Bumble Bee pin. He is just so cute, but crafted to perfection. He is a mixture of brass, silver, and copper with niello on parts. Miguel Cisneros (TC-10) is the well-known silversmith associated with Far Fetched. This little pin is probably about 1960’s and is in good vintage condition. It measures 1-1/8” long X 1” at the widest point. It is marked, “Far Fetched” with a heart-shaped stamp and copyright stamp...

What we are offering is a Tobias open backed repousse cuff that is a heavy 58 grams. The floral motif as well as the native in full head dress is deeply carved and heavily pressed for dimension. Tobias is recognized as one of the best early maestros of this technique. The height is 2.25in. tall and tapers to 1.5in. in the back. Many times stones are used as the masquette but this is a exceptional piece to display a silver repousse Masquette that is truly unique and rare.

I have seen this design by Margot de Taxco before - it can be found in all silver as well as adorned with amethyst or art glass cabochons in addition to the silver and copper combination - but I had never had a ring from this line in the past. I am partial to the marrying of the two metals as it is and in this case, the complexity of the repousse with its beading and undulating tendrils and the warm glow of beautifully patinated copper make for a stunning piece...

Made by Los Castillo and with Margot designing comes this huge and heavy repousse old linear hallmarked jewel. The necklace is 17in. long and has approximately a 16in. wearable. The depth on this piece is overwhelming in your hands and is 1.25in. tall. The weight is 91 grams heavy. No dents or damage. This is magnificent and rare, just LOOK AT THAT NECKLACE!

Los Castillo was masterful in the execution of these heavy repousse fly wings. The brooch measures 2.5in. by 2.75in. and sports 2 beautiful green stones and no damage anywhere. Weight is 29 grams. Properly hallmarked with the old linear marks this is collector quality and rare.

Pin back and safety lock work perfectly. Signed on the reverse FD SILVER MEXICO.

An early emulation of Spratling's iconic "Cocos" design, the demi presented here is an assembled set but the necklace and bracelet look so good together they make you feel they started their life in the same taller as well. Made out of heavy gauge silver sheet both pieces are carefully crafted and have substantial presence - I particularly love the double "pulsera", a treat that doesn't come up very often...
