This necklace can be dated to be from the early 1960s. This particular mark MATL and Salas in scrip is documented to have been used in the 1960 after Matilde passed away and Ricardo , who was already the silversmith and designer, took over the business on his own. Extraordinary and hard to find piece. The rarity/scarcity of the mark not only assists in dating the piece but it also further validates authenticity of this exquisite necklace. Elegant composition with predominant coral. This neckl ...click for details

A remarkable brooch made with a mosaic technique not seen frequently on MATL pieces. This Tulip flower brooch was crafted using minute fragments of coral, turquoise and obsidian. The signature corresponds to the earliest co-signed pieces used in the early 1960s. Although it is signed MATL and Salas, it is noteworthy that this piece is NOT an 'MS-12". The MS-12 mark began to be used in the 1980s. Therefore all MS-12 pieces are at most 25 years old but many are more recent. 1 3/4&qu ...click for details

This lovely Guatemalan Chachal necklace has a central One Peso coin dated 1894. It has six smaller coins on the bottom. However, these seem to be cast pieces. The necklace length is 32 inches. It has six pairs of fetish on the chain and three large beads. The bottom charms are a pair of eagles flanking a central cross with two small hearts hanging of each side of the cross. Heavy, lovely necklace. COLLECTOR QUALITY

Absolutely gorgeous these "front-facing" hoops were made probably in the region of Oaxaca. The earrings are 1 1/2: x 1 1/2". The stones are mounted on silver but the frames are rose gold. The stones are mine-cut. Amazing earrings made probably in the early 20th C. They are post earrings and this may be a recent modification since these earrings were mostly made with wire loop backs.

Excellent piece designed by William Spratling, this piece was made after 1967 and it is therefore marked TS-24 which corresponds to the period after WS death and the mark was used as SUCCESORES DE WILLIAM SPRATLING. This bracelet is nonetheless a great vintage item probably form the 1980s. The clasp has a pin closure. The bracelet is 7 1/2" of wearable length and it is a full two inches on the front panel. This is a hard to find bracelet and has signs of wear but no damage or detectable ...click for details
