Something like this cut work does not come around often. Casa Prieto was known for it's quality. This is thick silver and cut into a gorgeous design of a flower with a cabochon of Mexican turquoise for it's center. Mexican turquoise is mined out and only available from old stock that someone has saved or pulled off other works of art. These stones are a mix of turned green with time to a light blue green. All have rock matrix with lines through out. None of the lines have separated or cut the stone in parts. There are open backs behind the stones and you can view the centers. The chain is interesting with a wider link with cabochon and and then flat links to the hook. The large link is 2in. north to south and 1.75in. across the bottom. The top measurement is 1.5in. across. Properly signed , just LOOK AT THAT NECKLACE!
