This is an old Mexico City early repousse cuff. I love the romantic shape and the expert carving on this piece. The flowers are very deep and the dimension is outstanding. The front face is a large 2in. tall. The back is tapered to a not so small 1.25 inches. The repousse is open backed and also bares no hallmarks which is indicative of the earliest Mexico City pieces. The condition is superb with no cracks or dents.
Miguel Martinez was the principal designer for Rancho Alegre. This taller was known for quality and this is no exception. This Spratling design necklace is deeply carved with a large repousse silver ball at the drop measuring 2.5in x 2 7/8th's in. Wearable length is 16.75in. long. There is a glare on the underside of the repousse ball but is free of any dents or damage. The weight is a hefty 81.2 grams and the workmanship is outstanding. A true treasure in impeccable condition, just LOOK AT THAT NECKLACE!
