Antonio Pineda pearl cuff is half an inch on one end and 1.25in. on the other. A swoosh reveals one simple pearl of 5mm set inside the darkened recess. This cuff is gleaming and reflects everything around it making it very difficult to photograph. There is no damage of any kind. To evaluate the size we show a 1in. gap and 6in. of silver. The diameter is 2.25in. across. This is elegant and perfect for the board room or for the little black dress. The weight is 69 grams and is heavy in your hand.

Stunning Taxco modernist sterling silver pendant necklace this set seems to borrow stylistically from both Antonio Pineda (in its use of the black velvet cord) and the Los Ballesteros workshops (in featuring that huge gemstone). The signature it bears, however, attributes it to a listed yet still unidentified Mexican maestro whose work I have had before but about whom we don't really know that much...
