In 1952 award winning Sigi Pineda opened his own shop in Taxco. These pieces marked and numbered Plateros (enough of the mark is there for easy identification) are some of his best designs.

The pectoral takes sweeps and swirls so it is measured with the highest point. The entire necklace is hand chased...
