Here is perhaps the most dramatic piece that I have ever held. Huge and magnificent and if that is not enough it is in excellent condition without one dent or ding. The drop is 3.5in. long and 2.5in. across. The peacocks are 2.75in. tall that go around the neck. The repousse is thick and with great dimension weighing 146 grams. I have a photo showing a "slice" shot to give an idea of how dimensional the piece is. Hallmarked 980 Taxco as shown...

A classic book piece for William Spratling, the "tulip" brooch comes in several configurations and is carved out of various stones, the most usual being amethyst. Here the large bloom is set in a less frequently seen repousse frame that consists of deeply chased foliage and an overlaid curlicued tendril. I also love the color variations and depth in the pink quartz stone. Very architectural and quite impressive with a smoothness that makes you want to hold it.....

Lovely and rich the Los Castillo glyph bracelet always reminds me of Mexican silver at it's best. The weight is 50 grams heavy and is a comfortable 7in. long and 1 inch wide. The silver shows dark in the recesses and top with a gorgeous glow. Take this anywhere and you will be talked about when seen.

One of my favorite designs of the so-called "archaeological" genre, I have seen similar pieces bearing Victoria's signature but this one is made by an artist who signs his name with initials "AE" in a heart-shaped "M". Though we don't know much about the specific maker, we do know that his work was appreciated enough by his colleagues that his signature can be found on jewelry by Rancho Alegre and Estela Popowski...

Horacio de la Parra is one of the early Taxco maestros whose work I am constantly on the look out for - I think the bracelet presented here amply illustrates the reasons for that. Though not as prolific as others in jewelry making (Parra is known for his high quality holloware), Parra's repoussage can be down right stupendous. In our case, the complexity of the design and the challenge it poses to the artistry of the silversmith executing it, make his feat even more incredible...

This Fred Davis necklace is MAGNIFICENT. The cylinders create a 1.25in. tall necklace for an unforgettable presence. The balls in between the cylinders help space the cylinders and when worn it creates a ripple effect as you move. Made with quality through and through the masterpiece weighs 201.3 grams heavy. The wearable size could not be better as you have a minimum of 17 inches of comfort. The drop is certainly the finishing touch as a barrel cut long amethyst centers the 1.25in. x 1.5inch l...

An early, pre-1948 Matl-esque silver, amethyst and turquoise ring, this piece is signed by one of Matilde's contemporaries whose emulations of her designs I came to appreciate for their craftsmanship and beauty of the stones used.

The ring is a comfortable size 6 and its face measures 3/4" in diameter. Weighing 8.2 grams, it bears maker's initials as shown and is ...

The popularity of Matilde Poulat's jewelry and her exceptional creative genius prompted several of her contemporary maestros to emulate them - in fact, copies of her pieces are made to this day, some less "successful" than others.
The ring at hand dates, I believe, in the pre-1948 period and is very well made. Not signed for maker, it features Matilde's signature channel-set turquoise cabs surrounding a bigger, oval stone in a deep powder blue color.
The familiar wirework adorns both the ...

I love the idea of combination pin/pendants - they make for such versatile jewelry and can prove a mainstay in a lady's jewelry box. And when they come with the signature of Matilde Poulat, especially an early one, it is very difficult to resist them! Like the big, impressive example here, in one of Matilde's signature designs studded with coral and turquoise. I particularly like the coral cabs in this piece - their color is rather unusual, more of a soft salmon hue that feels so pleasant to the...
