I have never seen this type of Hina Goten (Palace) until I found this one. No longer a spring chicken myself, I asked several people in Japan if they knew anything about this style. No one knew. We may call this a rare find. The Hina ningyo (doll) set that I grew up with was displayed in the steps style, which is still a common way of displaying 15 dolls with furnitures as long as a space permits...

This is an incredible William Spratling necklace from the Mexican Silver Renaissance. Finding one of these is really a treasure due to how rare they really are but this one is even more rare due to 18kt balls in it's center and again on a thick layer of the medallion below the balls. These have been tested to 18kt. The repousse is open back and is an attribute of it's early age and the hallmarks for high silver content. The name is for MOTH and it is stunning on with 3 draped ball chains...

Just WOW! I don't usually resort to exclamations of this kind yet I believe the Margot necklace I am presenting here deserves it more than anything else. I was stunned when I first held it in my hands - its beauty, the sculpturality of its links, the fantastic patina, the weight and the rarity of the design all combine to make a true collector's dream materialize. I will leave the assessment to you - just enjoy the photos. And as you can see, its matching bracelet is also available.....
