This lovely bracelet exhibits quality workmanship. It features nine linked discs decorated with exquisite bands of turquoise enamel work embedded with metal strands, possibly silver. Each disc is ringed by intricately embossed frames of flowers and leaves. The double-hook clasp is very secure. The bracelet measures 7 inches long. It is unmarked except for the word ‘Silver’ impressed on each end disc; the silver tests definitely as sterling. Dating would be around 1950...

Lovely necklace signed "HK HANDMADE STERLING DENMARK" made of sterling and enamel. Although extremely rare to see his signature on non George Jensen pieces, it is probably made by Henning Koppel(1918-1982). In "Silver Jewelry" by Fred Rezazadeh, on page 100, it states that "Koppel's jewelry exhibits modern and abstract designs derived form nature, sometimes enhanced with enamelwork." It also shows that "HK" is Koppel's signature, aside from his work with Jensen...

Ed Levin modernist sterling abstract brooch with stone.

Circa - 1950.

1 1/2" x 2 1/2".

Condition - excellent.

This is a Los Castillo design made by Hilario Lopez who worked for several Tallers through his career(of which one was Margot de Taxco) and he was an accomplished Maestro. The construction is open backed repousse but it is framed in heavy silver making a respectable 80 grams heavy. There is lots of bead work executed on this design and it is in impeccable condition. If you could find an original Los Castillo of this rare design it would cost at least twice what this one costs...

Sterling silver ring with two types of stones personal made by Rebajes hand, c.1950s. The ring is in excellent condition and very clean. The ring is adjustable for size. Showing is a size 5.

Graziella Laffi signed on both the necklace and bracelet. The enamel is in perfect condition as well as the silver. The length is 7 inches and the necklace has a wearable length of 16.5 inches. 1.25in. for the height for both the necklace and bracelet. When I see these there seems to be some that looks very much the same but there is always a change with a fish or bird in different places and size. For all Laffi collectors, just LOOK AT THAT NECKLACE!
