Iconic motif with mid-century flair ... Though small in size, this 1950's Ecuadorian pin is a striking example of intricate silverwork made to look deceivingly simple. Handwrought in .900 silver, it depicts a kneeling native woman—dressed in traditional costume and sporting an elegantly twisted, long braid—holding a deep bowl.

No bull—it’s a horse!... This one-of-a-kind pendant is a stunning example of artisan-forged silverwork, produced during the 1950's or '60s wearable art movement. Depicting a highly stylized horse figure, its astonishingly delicate construction, which resembles origami, almost belies the bold and robust quality of the animal's Picassoesque design. The pendant is composed of freeform sections of sterling silver—hand-shaped and subtly reticulated—that have been surmounted one upon th ...click for details

"The Spratling of Peru" ... Florentine-born, Graziella Laffi lived and worked in Lima, Peru, producing singular silver and gold jewelry and holloware in pre-Columbian, folkloric, and modernist motifs. Most aficionados believe that her creations rival the classic pieces that came out of Mexico. With Ms. Laffi's passing in 2009, her works—among today's hottest collectibles in the field—are becoming less easy to find and even more desirable. ...click for details
