Literally huge and definitely earth-shattering pair of Alfredo Villasana earrings, this pair is not for the faint of heart. Strong movement in the "fleshy" repousse along with deep recesses and beautiful patina showcase Villasana's mastery over the art of repoussage. Each earring is 2 1/8" tall by 1" wide and the set weighs 16.1 grams. Marked with Villasana's signature albeit partial as well as Eagle 3 assay mark, the pair dates in the 1950s-60s and is in excellent vintage condition...

I have a weakness for over-the-top earrings hence my lack of resistance to this pair. A set from the "archaeological period", the big dangles are formed by two mirrored Quetzalcoatls, the Feathered Serpents being entangled in a tight embrace. Nice cut-outs, easily readable hand-etched details and dimpled dot findings - spectacular! The earrings are 2 1/4" long by 1 3/4" wide (at their widest) and weigh 25.5 grams (for the set)...

One of the most beautiful early 20th c. Chinese bracelets of this kind that I have seen, this piece is studded with perfectly cut tiger's eye cabochons. The vivid blue, purple and green enamels reflect brightly off the vermeil finish while the extra security of the safety chain is a welcome plus. Measuring 7" long (wearable) by 1 1/2' wide, the bracelet weighs 49.8 grams. It is marked "SILVER CHINA" and in excellent vintage condition.

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 beauty is comprised of 5 large turquoise stones that are approximately .75in. at the widest and 1.5in. long. The color is a vivid blue green. The prongs are holding by fingers that form more of a cage for the stones to roll around. The silver is thick and it weighs a hefty 64 grams. This is a noted Los Castillo design but these stones make this piece stellar on it's own merit. There is no damage of any kind and the workmanship is superb with a JV noted hallmark as shown...

Beautiful, heavy vintage Deco necklace in the style of Aguilar's "half tubular link" design, I am not sure how to present this to you and what attribution to make. It is not signed at all but the construction, weight and quality make me believe that it could be a Hector original. Yet would anybody in their right mind remove the hallmarks link? In any case, here it is, measuring a wearable 15" long (total length is actually 16 1/4") by 7/8" wide and weighing a generous 91.9 grams...

A maker whose work does not come up often but seems to have worked for Spratling at Las Delicias, Lico is distinguished by big size, absolutely powerful repousse pieces and workmanship of the highest quality. I believe the two-part belt buckle presented here supports my claim in the best possible way. Strong sense of movement and depth with the repoussage being boldly pronounced and the unbelievable patina accentuating the design's three-dimensional quality even more...
