Today we feature Antonio Pineda's work with an older hallmark of Silver by Tono. Every link is a floral sculpture. The links are thick and 3 dimensional as they vine around the neck. The weight is 120 grams of almost pure silver. The wearable length is 16.5 in. This is my favorite period of his work as his designs are warmer and flow with great beauty. There is no damage to the silver or stones, just LOOK AT THAT NECKLACE!
