This is a change of pace from 16in. necklaces. The Quetzalcoatl necklace is super long at an overall length of 28.75in. with the drop being 3.75in. tall and 3in. across. The silver is hand carved into 980 silver and it is silky soft to the touch. You can see the work marks on the back of this very early piece. This weighs a remarkable 128 grams heavy and the silver is 3.5mm thick. This has such presence to wear alone or add other silver with it for even a greater effect...

A beautifully potted octagonal Jun-Yao bowl from the Song Dynasty (960 – 1276). The colour of the bowl is more to the purplish side than blue hue that is shown in the picture. This is due to the light reflection that throws out the blue colour. The foot stand is burnt to light russet brown in colour with a small chip.
Some minor abrasion. A single chip to the stand of the bowl (Picture 6). There are no crack, restoration or repair...

Margot de Taxco's des. no 5247 is a modernist "beaded wave" creation and presented here is a set comprised of bracelet and matching clip-on earrings. I will dare say that Margot did not delve too much into modernism but whenever she did it, the results were equally inspired and carefully crafted as the rest of her work. The sculptural quality of the undulating links is matched by the curves of the semi-spheres set within them in a channel that is both pierced and contained by a raised border. Th...
