Extraordinary cocktail ring size 5 wide band. The ring had originally 22 small opals of various kids. Three of these have been cut to level probably because they were cracked. A few of the opals also have some minor cracks consistent with age and characteristics of the opal stones. However, this does not detract from the beauty of this nice and rare piece. A true conversation piece. COLLECTOR QUALITY

Amazing early cuff pre-Taxco. This cuff was likely made in Mexico City and bears the traditional repousage that characterized the traditional Spanish Colonial Mexican silversmithing. Though it is signed Aguilar, the maker was not the famous Hector Agular. Also marked 900, which was the 19th and early 20th century marks for high purity silver, before the international convention for sterling at 925. Thi is a gorgeous truly antique example of the mexican silver tradition. COLLECTOR QUALITY

The piece is made in silver and some sort of thick plastic material that resembles tortoise shell. Elegant piece in excellent condition, great craftsmanship. Marked TH-70; 925; MexicoVINTAGE QUALITY

This pendant depicts a smiling face from a Pre Columbian piece of the Veracruz Remojadas culture. Spratling himself wrote a famous book about this interesting Pre Columbian culture. The book " More Human than Divine" by W. Spratling illustrates the many pieces found in the Remojadas region of the State of Verzcruz in Mexico. A characteristic of this particular culture was the fact that many fine terra-cotta pieces have been found and every one depicts a smiling figure. This interest ...click for details
