Matilde Poulat and Salas Mexican necklaces are getting so very rare and especially the gorgeous pieces like this one. It is hallmarked as shown with Matl Salas MS-12. This hallmark dates this from 1978 and after. I am limited by the system on the dating of this listing. The repousse is masterfully done and the carving has great depth. The chains are really very special to this piece with the outside chain having a bit more slack to hang in such a lovely manner...

One of my favorite "less celebrated" Taxco artists, AE Heart's hallmark (he signs his initials AE in a heart-shaped M) can also be seen on Estela Popowski and Rancho Alegre pieces. I find his work to be masterful and his jewelry, oftentimes based on Margot de Taxco and Los Castillo designs, are always exceptionally well crafted and have very good weight. The "fruity" bracelet offered here is, I believe, his own creation...

I have said many times in the past that I consider the Los Ballesteros workshop Taxco’s foremost creator of the so-called “mask” jewelry. And among their best are their hinged bangle bracelets, a fantastic example of which I am presenting here. The effigy is carved out of tiger’s eye, a stone which creates a magical sensation with its molten gold, glistening caramel and rich chocolate browns. Serene under its heavy, ornate headdress the “face” looks as if in deep sleep, its features ...
