This is a vintage Mexican silver cuff that fits up to a 7.25in. wrist and is properly hallmarked and signed Salvador and design #178. This is a book piece in "William Spratling and the Mexican Silver Renaissance" pg.131. The safety chain has been removed and is easy to replace but many find them cumbersome. Any Salvador Teran piece is a grand addition to a collection and being a book piece makes this is a good one! I have left this piece in its unpolished condition with wonderful patina. There are no repairs or breaks only tarnish and it is in great condition.
This is an exceptional and stunning necklace made by Saul who is noted in Bille Hougart's book THE LITTLE BOOK OF MEXICAN SILVER TRADE AND HALLMARKS. His work has a high attention to detail and heft. This piece weighs 107 grams. The findings that attach to the multi chain drop is built with such quality and all the chain is thick. The chain drapes beautifully and does not kink. The drop is approximately 3in. long hanging on a person. I would say that the wearability is approximately 16.5 in. and then add the drop for total length. It is 1in. wide at its widest points. Special detail was made for the clasp to be integrated into the design of the findings that attach to the chain drop. Exceptional workmanship through and through. Truly a treasure just, LOOK AT THAT NECKLACE!
