This is a signed Hector Aguilar Necklace that is hard to find design. The color is a fascinating white as the silver is almost pure.

Strongly held together with rivets and a weight of 136 grams, the work speaks quality. No damage or repairs and a stellar design to wear causal or dress...

Generous in size and studded with channel and bezel set stones, this is a glorious Matilde Poulat cross whether you wear it as an expression of your spirituality or as a work of art. Matl's signature wirework and beading combined with the patina the pendant has developed over time make for a strong, eye-catching presence. The hand-wrought chain that it comes with is Mexican as well and of the same period (yet not a Matl piece) and I believe it complements it in the best possible way...

A rare and spectacular mid-century modern sterling pin by Carmen Beckmann. The center features 2 Mexican jelly opals and green stones that I believe are tourmaline. The stones are bezel set and the color combination is striking. The irregular shapes of the green stones and the varied lengths of the jutting silver spokes make this design fascinating. It is unique down to the clasp which is a simple "C" clasp with an interlocking safety catch that slides up to hold the pin securely in place...
