Margot van Voorhies Carr married Antonio Castillo and together they formed Los Castillo where Margot became noted as a world class designer of jewels. She divorced Antonio and opened her own taller named Margot de Taxco. This necklace is her first design upon her opening. Hammered and with niello in the center it is winding and snake like. A thick rim gives boundaries to it's borders. The finished look is rich and bold with the necklace having a wearable of approximately 17in. The weight has a heft of 100 grams. The drop is 4in. tall and 4in. across. This is an important piece to collectors because it is the beginning of an important career of Margot and her taller Margot de Taxco. Perfect condition with no damage, just LOOK AT THAT NECKLACE!
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.
Erika Hult signed Ric has designed this 1.25 in. long obsidian stone wrapped beauty. Erika Hult worked for Sigi Pineda and Ledesma before opening her own taller Erika Hult de Coral. She studied at the Parson's School of Design in Paris. She has engineered a very comfortable fit with jointed sections that lye perfectly around the neck with a wearable length of 16in. plus some. Difficult to be a perfect measurement as there is a curve that is hard to measure. The height at the center of the obsidian drop is .78in. with a total weight of 58 grams. No damage, repairs or chips to the stone just a great, well kept treasure made by an award winning designer.
