In the style closely associated with Enrique Ledesma yet signed by one of his contemporary Taxco maestros this stunning sterling silver necklace and earrings set epitomizes the slick modernism of Mexico’s mid-century. Designs in this genre capitalize on the stark contrast between highly polished, reflective silver and dark, heavily oxidized surfaces and the visual drama that it creates...

This is an old Chinese carpentry tool. It was used the same as today's carpenter's "chalk line". The bowl would be filled with powdered charcoal and the string would be pulled through the bowl, and a straight line would be snapped. The string would be rewound by tuning the "crank handle".
Older carpenters frequently made their own tool and the carving on this one is very well done, a dragons head floating in a wave pattern. Note the hand made string...very rare...

The Los Castillo fern is an outstanding bracelet design with great dimension and a rolling flow to the leaf that others tried to copy but could not succeed. The piece is heavy at 98 grams. The height is 3in. on an angle and tapers to one inch in the back. The inside diameter is 2.25in. The clamper is properly hallmarked and in perfect condition. One picture shows the clamper with a large Los Castillo fern necklace already listed on my site. Truly a classic and collector quality.
