Description:

A wood Bian with carving inscriptions was in very good scholar taste.
" Zun Yo Xuon Tan" means eloquent talking will be amid the seats.
With simple words, it showed the enthusiastic inviting of a family host.
This kind of Bian was most likely having been put in a scholar chamber.
It is really hard to find a real scholar Bian like this. Most of them we found were for business using.

One of Taxco's foremost modernist designers, Enrique Ledesma is a master when it comes to setting gems against oxidized, minimalist backgrounds and the hinged bracelet at hand proves the veracity of my assertion. Open-backed topaz and color-change sapphire, one of each, seem to float on a silky gris-sourris platform drawing attention to their strong color and to the asymmetry of the design...

Vintage Margot de Taxco Mexican silver necklace and earrings demi, this is a delicate, discretely feminine design and it's perfect for the hot days of summer. Extensive beading, a touch of oxidation, riveted links and a presence that though romantic is still visually strong characterize the set and make it one of my Margot favorites. The necklace measures 16 1/8" long (wearable) with the bow link being 2" wide by just shy of 7/8" tall (at its tallest) while the width at the chain is 3/16"...

A remarkably beautiful and exquisitely crafted 970 silver and aventurine bracelet by Taxco silversmith Antonio Pineda.

It is 1/2" wide and weighs 95 grams...

Signed Victoria we have a rare piece that has an exceptional carving. The more I view it the more I think that it looks like a jaguar more than one of the ancient Gods. No chips or repairs and it had to be in a loving home in the condition it is in. Colors in the stone range from ivory, brown, greens to black all swirled beautifully. The size is stunning with a 20in. length. The drop is 2 1/8th in. x 3in. and it is seated on a really thick, higher than 925 silver base...

Thick silver of high purity with deeply chased and oxidized waves and swirls characterizes this early Los Castillo cuff bracelet wrought in a 980 alloy.
