This artist RTA is known for making Antonio Pineda designs. He has signed the piece with design numbers and you can see the hallmark as shown. The piece is heavy and tipped with glowing Amethyst. The height of the bracelet is 1.75in. and the weight is 183 grams super heavy. The inside wearable is approximately 7in. RTA has wrought an excellent example of the Pineda matchstick. The fact is there is almost NO difference what so ever. There is some shadows and some patina showing in the pictures but the condition is superb. For such a heavy old bracelet the pins and barrels are PERFECT AND THAT IS RARE. This bracelet came in its original box and it has kept the amethyst tips in great condition. Any marks to the silver is in the making and the stones have no cracks or chips but they do show 2 striation pin points from the cutting of the stone. This is the closest thing to perfect that I have seen in this design. I love looking at the amethyst tips as you almost never see the matchsticks tipped in amethyst. FABULOUS
Outstanding and designed by a most talented Maestro signed IC. The combination of the carved Chinese florets and the crafted amethyst swirl links are simply so rare of a find that it is truly a treasure for the most discerning collector. In absolutely perfect condition the necklace is 15.25in. long. The weight is a hefty 86 grams of very high silver content that feels like silky butter in your hands. The Chinese carvings are a bit over one inch in diameter with one being rose quartz and the other being pale amethyst. The links that make up the chain are also thick and unique with swirls that are one of a kind starting flat and folding over with the curl on the opposite side. This treasure reminds us of the Asian influence within the Taxco group of artists. We find these unique pieces by Los Castillo and Margot from time to time that incorporated Asian elements and this acquisition is certainly one of a kind. The price reflects it's eminence and a hard fought auction that I did not want to lose. A joy to wear, just LOOK AT THAT NECKLACE!
