~ MODERNIST Segmental CHOKER NECKLACE ~
genuine TIGER’S EYE Gemstone & 925 Sterling Silver
A similar, (if not identical), Style Necklace to ones accredited to ANTONIO PINEDA
(famous Taxco Silver Jewelry Maker: 1919> 2009).
On-line research found a Pineda Choker Necklace that was an extremely close match in size and
overall description…only substituting 12- Amethyst Gemstones.
This one is attributed to a different maker and Hallmark:
made by the 64th registered Taxco Silversmith whose Last Name starts with an “L”…
(Possibly a former apprentice craftsmen - trained in the Spratling Silversmith tradition?)
Inarguably- this is an extremely well-made and high-quality piece!
Lays perfectly close around the neck - sitting flat and still - which allows for smooth comfort
(despite its significant weight).
(12) Genuine Tiger’s-eye Gemstones, (smooth, polished 1” pieces), were carefully set into their
protective silver trough backings; their stone ends covered with “Tied Bundle Covers” of
sterling silver @ 1.5” repeats ... which were pin-hinged to allow for free movement.
Achieving a visual “floating quality” ~ that is simply SUPERB!
