A 1920-s platinum and diamond engagement ring, centered by a 1.00Ct old-miner diamond that has G color and SI2 clarity. The open scroll design is further decorated by fourteen single-cut diamonds, which brings the approximate total diamond weight to 1.25Ct. The center diamond is not certified, but was graded by our in-house gemologist.

From a private collection in Massachusetts and purchased by the original owner at The Thunderbird Shop,comes this magnificent sterling, turquoise and red coral necklace by Frank Patania Sr., c.1950. Between 2 rows of sterling beads strung on chain are 23 saw tooth bezel set round turquoise and 23 saw tooth bezel set graduated coral pendants suspended from the bottom of the second row of sterling beads. The necklace measures 14 1/2"end to end but an extender could be added if needed...

Exceptional early Deco Taxco silver bracelet, its two parts formed by rows of repousse semi-spheres accented with green turquoise cabochons. This is one of my favorite forms in an exuberant design that never fails to attract attention. Bracelets like this come in a variety of widths – this one is, I believe, the widest you can get with eight rows of beads that, in the front panel, are enhanced by overlaid rows of stone and smaller beads...

Fall in love with this beautifully executed 14 karat white gold filigree dinner ring from the 1920’s. It is decorated by three single cut diamonds and two straight sapphire baguettes. The total weight of the three diamonds is approximately 0.12 carats. One of the straight sapphire baguettes has a minor chip, but the overall condition of the ring is excellent.

A very stylish 1960-s period 14Kt white gold sapphire and diamond ring centered by a 9.2 X 6.7 millimeter 1.76Ct oval natural sapphire with excellent quality and great color. The center sapphire is flanked on either side by a brilliant cut diamond, which gives the ring an elegant tailored appearance. The approximate total weight of the two high quality diamonds is 0.45Ct.

Fabulous pair of mod, space-age Mexican silver dangle earrings with azur-malachite inlay in the style of the Los Castillo "Mosaico Azteca" line. Just note the Saturn-like spheres at the end of the slick, long stems and the dimension that the inlaid band around them adds to the design. Spectacular and so unique! Each earring is 2 1/4" long and the diameter of the dangling sphere with the band around it is 3/4"...

Elegant, finely made sterling and ironwood pendant with a center oval shaped coral by Navajo silversmith Manuel Lewis when working at the White Hogan Shop in Scottsdale, Arizona. It measures 2 3/8" long including the bail and is 1 1/2" at the widest point. Fine original condition and signed ML and the White Hogan hallmark. Pieces from the White Hogan Shop continue to be highly sought after and this one is a gem.

Splendid early Deco Mexican silver repousse cuff bracelet, this is an anonymous piece yet without any doubt one of the first, most daring attempts at employing the art of repoussage to coax stunning form out silver. Powerful sense of motion, deep oxidized recesses, accent beading and generous proportions combine in a jaw-dropping piece...

Beautifully carved, with deep details in the figures flowing robes, their faces and hairdos, I am assuming that this demi-parure consisting of a bracelet, brooch and earrings was initially intended as a wedding gift to a happy bride? Set in what looks like brass, the six female figures that adorn the bracelet links are, I believe, along with the figures on the earrings depictions of He Xiangu, the only female among the Eight Immortals...

Based on Margot de Taxco's and the Los Castillo's "Koi Fish" parures, a repousse by-pass ring from the 1950s-60s made by one of Taxco's still unidentified maestros. I admire these miniature masterpieces - they mimic the clamper bracelets of their respective designs yet with the small size, pose a real challenge to the silversmith who has to reproduce amazing detail in such small proportions. The ring here is currently a comfortable size 7.75 but can be adjusted upwards...

C. Molina is an early maestro about whom we don’t know much but his mastery of the art of cutwork is becoming all the more appreciated. His silver work is so elaborate and his jewelry – which does not surface very often – so monumental in proportions that it is creating a steady following among collectors and discerning “well dressers” alike. The double-dangle earrings I am presenting here are stupendous and I particularly love the addition of the mask at the top...

A signature design for Margot de Taxco, the koi silver and amethyst clamper bracelet is a must-have for the dedicated collector and the lover of things beautiful alike. Executed in dramatic repoussage that looks more like sculpting because of its depth and the thick silver sheet used to craft it, Margot's original is far above and beyond all contemporary emulations be they signed by a known maker or anonymous. I leave the rest to the descriptive power of photography...

Slick, minimalist and yet so eye-catching, a pair of Margot de Taxco silver and enamel earrings with distinctive trapezoidal dangles. Just note the way the silver polka dots jump out of the white enamel background! The earrings measure 1 3/8" long by just over 1" wide (at their widest) and weigh 18.4 grams (for the set). Fully hallmarked as shown with Margot's name as well as Eagle 16 and des. no 5586 and in excellent vintage condition.

Matching the necklace in the same design that is also currently available in my inventory (see listing no 1190796 and also look at last photo here), a masterfully designed and executed Deco bracelet by a maker whose signature can also be found on Estela Popowski and Rancho Alegre pieces. Perfect repousse, deeply saturated amethyst cabs and gorgeous patina contribute to its stunning appearance. The bracelet measures 7" long (wearable) by 1 1/8" wide and weighs 32.0 grams...
