This is one of the finest Sigi Pineda pieces that I have had the pleasure to hold. The pectoral is extremely thick silver being 1.25in. at it's center height and weighing 108 grams. You can see and feel the raw, almost pure, buttery smooth silver. This is an early Sigi showing hallmarks with an eagle 3. The diameter across is 4.5in. and you measure from the bottom of the drop not the inside circumference because the pectoral perks upward and covers aging beautifully in the hollow of the neck. The hinges do make it sit perfectly. It does have a marvelous patina and the condition is exceptional. This is collector and museum quality, just LOOK A THAT NECKLACE!
This antique drop is big at 2.25in long. The widest point is 1.25in. While being unmarked, the provenance is documented Mexican silver around the late 1800's. The stones are of a higher quality than normally seen for Mexican silver. The bottom amethyst cabachon is 18mm wide. It sits high at another 12mm. the top cabachon is an oval 12mm across. The pix appear as it has a gold wash but it does not. The chain is 22in. long and the top part of the chain is a different handmade link. You can shorten or lengthen with the bar style hook. The hand made bead work is soooo tiny and with none missing. In really beautiful condition, LOOK AT THAT NECKLACE!
