    This is a very rare Antonio Pineda properly hallmarked locket ring that depicts a Japanese scene. The scrimshaw miniature is well done and is quite clear with handmade beading framing the carving and then another ring of a twisted border. The ring is heavy at 18 grams and is approximately a size 8. The ring is capable of being sized because the hallmark is well marked on the back of the ring and not on the band. This rare treasure is 1.25 inches tall and 1 inch wide and It may be signed in Japanese characters on the back of the miniature. Some designers of the Spratling era were discovering and designing with Japan as their inspiration such as Margot Van Voorhies Carr. A lovely piece of art and treasure.

    From the Spratling era Matilde Poulat's work is one of my very favorite. Her style was Mexico City folk and she took that style and worked creative magic . This one holds one of the earliest hallmarks and shows her early work with a clear faceted gem. It has the back of the silver cut out for light which later on she did not continue that process. The drop across is 5 in. and the height is 2.5in. The clasp is jeweled and the wearable length is 17.5in. This is a heavy weight of 70 grams. The stones are warmed with age and a lovely patina. I love the smaller size of this Matl because you can wear it with anything and to everything. One of the ways that I look for the best examples of Matl is to look at the birds. These are plump little baby birds with a perfect loveable shape. Also, the carving on the top of the birds is wonderfully executed. The oldest Matl designs are harder to get today and this one is a real treasure of collector quality, just LOOK AT THAT NECKLACE!

    This is a monumental Margot de Taxco design 5790 that is never seen. The sweep of the mermaids tail (or you envision it as feathers) is graceful and the repousse is stair stepped displaying great depth. Quality is shown with the heavy silver weighing 109 grams. The wearable length of the necklace is a comfy 17inches. Measurements of the drop are 3in. by 2.25 The earrings are 1.5in. long and 1in. wide with a weight of 20 grams. The earliest repousse was not backed with silver and this pair of earrings is made in this manner. They have a clip back which is original to the design. Margot could yield earrings that were large and comfortable by making them without the silver backing. This set has a superb presence. There are no flaws or damage, just LOOK AT THAT NECKLACE!
