A wonderful Aztec design 940 silver pin with 5 balls and 5 dangles by Hector Aguilar. I have never seen this pin before and I have not found it in any books so believe it to be quite rare. It measures 1 3/4" long and 1 3/8" wide.It is in fine original condition but the safety is missing on the pin clasp so it is currently just a "C" clasp. Although it holds on clothing as it is now, it would be best to replace the safety catch to make it more secure...

She announced the closing of her studio in August of this year so her pieces will surely be increasing in value and become highly collectible. This unusual bracelet looks like 2 bracelets when on the wrist. I tried to give an idea of the look in photo 2 but unfortunately the bracelet is much too big for my wrist so please use your artistic imagination...
