Among Gerardo Lopez's most collected clamper designs, I love to refer to this specific creation as his "flames" bracelet because of the way the repousse rises in vivacious twists and twirls. This is indeed an impressive piece - like most of Lopez's clampers are - but not overwhelmingly involved and a sheer pleasure to wear. Its patina is warm and its hinge is tight as if it has been treated very gently throughout its long life...

Beautiful and rare demi parure consisting of a fringed bib necklace and matching clipback earrings, in carved translucent Bakelite simulating amber or jade, and goldtone metal. Circa 1960.

Description:

A charming pebble jade carving of a tiger, cat or Huan was masterly done.
Crouching with her head resting on her front paws, she raised her left leg tickling the cheek when the long tail curling tightly to the side.
The fluent lineation work and excellent carving skill depicted the cat in a vivid way...

A signature design for Margot de Taxco, the koi silver and amethyst clamper bracelet is a must-have for the dedicated collector and the lover of things beautiful alike. Executed in dramatic repoussage that looks more like sculpting because of its depth and the thick silver sheet used to craft it, Margot's original is far above and beyond all contemporary emulations be they signed by a known maker or anonymous. I leave the rest to the descriptive power of photography...

Slick, minimalist and yet so eye-catching, a pair of Margot de Taxco silver and enamel earrings with distinctive trapezoidal dangles. Just note the way the silver polka dots jump out of the white enamel background! The earrings measure 1 3/8" long by just over 1" wide (at their widest) and weigh 18.4 grams (for the set). Fully hallmarked as shown with Margot's name as well as Eagle 16 and des. no 5586 and in excellent vintage condition.

You could not believe how fabulous this piece looks with a scoop neck black dress. You can adjust the 20 inches of chain to what ever length you wish and the chain is also huge and hand made giving it a distinct presence. The sections of the pectoral have a hammered raw look to the sterling. The weight is 161 grams. The drop is an overall 5in. from center and the 3 sections are not that heavy so it is really comfortable. The smallest one is 4.5 x1.75, next is 5 x 1.75in...

Based on Margot de Taxco's and the Los Castillo's "Koi Fish" parures, a repousse by-pass ring from the 1950s-60s made by one of Taxco's still unidentified maestros. I admire these miniature masterpieces - they mimic the clamper bracelets of their respective designs yet with the small size, pose a real challenge to the silversmith who has to reproduce amazing detail in such small proportions. The ring here is currently a comfortable size 7.75 but can be adjusted upwards...

A very interesting yet no less monumental bracelet by Enrique Ledesma in which the maestro combines modernist silver work with curved stone tubes left unpolished- a rather unusual choice for him. I am intrigued by the combination and think that the stones are actually malachite with veins of pyrite in them. Vividly colored, the bracelet has a stunning presence because of its magnificently architectural links and it feels divinely around the wrist...

This Victoria signed brooch is a published design in the Penny Morrill's books on Mexican Silver and it is also extremely collectable. The pattern is unique and it is made with quality workmanship. Dimensions are 2.5in. by 2.75in. No damage and very well cared for.

Rare Chambri / Aibom LARGE Pottery Cooking Pot - Papua New Guinea (Ex. 1970's Collection)

This large pottery bowl, or cooking pot, was part of a large collection of artifacts collected from the region of the Sepik River, Papau New Guinea in the 1970's. Most of the collection comprised wooden artifacts, but there were also some much rarer pottery items that we were able to acquire...

This handmade pair of Tibetan boots was typically used by the Tibetan Minority groups for centuries. Each regional Tibetan group used its own distinct colored thread design pattern. Monks and officials also could be recognized by the thread design of their boots. These were a "commoners" boot and judging by their size, they were used by a young teenager. I suspect that they were only worn once or twice and they are in wonderful condition. Heel to toe they measure 9" and stand 12" high.

We are listing an amethyst signed Antonio Pineda bracelet with high quality amethyst in classic emerald baguette cuts...

Antonio Pineda's striking design speaks volumes with this .75in. wide concave link. It is wonderful stacked with other Pinedas as he did in his adds or with the silver bead pearls necklace shown in the pictures already listed on my site. It is comfortable at almost 7 in. wearable and you can make it more oval or round (which ever you feel more comfortable in) because of the design of the hinges. This bracelet is heavy walled at 112 grams of quality. It is properly hallmarked for Antonio Pineda ...
