7.25in. long and 1 3/8in. wide makes this piece a sizable, striking statement. The weight is 65.2 grams heavy and the cabachons are 12mm. Marked with an early Mexico Silver hallmark and matches up beautifully with the necklace shown that is also listed on my site. Fabulous patina and a beautiful vintage Mexican silver pre 1948 example worth taking home!
What a fantastic old Mexico City necklace. The 10 stones are surrounded by filigree and tiny repousse balls. The drop is 6in. across and 4.75in. tall. Having a wearable length of 15.5in. and a weight of 71 grams, it is a substantial piece. How remarkable that all the stones have no chips or cracks after all this time. The stones display a milky swirl running throughout the dark purple hue. Striking on, just LOOK AT THAT NECKLACE!
Rich and timeless is this pre-1948 signed Hector Aguilar necklace which was designed by Valentin Vidaurreta. This piece is RARE and fantastic. Holding it in your hands gives you a strong sense of the early history of the Spratling Era of Mexican silver. The necklace is called the Armadillo necklace and sports a warm patina. The piece is 18 inches in wearable length and 93 grams heavy. The hallmarks are identical to Penny Morrills book, SILVER MASTERS OF MEXICO page 12, example D. The black velvet neckband is newer and it should be due to the age of the necklace and the drop spans 7.75in. across and is 1 3/8in. at its widest point. The clasp is a decorative work of art as well and is a substantial 1.25in. long and 5/8in. wide. This design was allowed by Vidaurreta to continue to be made by Manuel Altamirano an employee of both Aguilar and Vidaurreta and those pieces are signed by Altamirano. This Armadillo necklace is early and is hallmarked by Hector Aguilar making it a superb, rare, treasure, just LOOK AT THAT NECKLACE!
