Eva Etstate Zuni Channel inlay sterling turtle pin. Considerably bigger than most you will find. 2" x 1.25" x 7.7 grams, no issues.All precious metals are tested and guaranteed. A Native American jewelry piece referred to as "silver" or "ingot" is guaranteed to be at least 90% silver. I rarely use the word "sterling" when referring to older Native American silver or really any older silver jewelry as silver contents vary and "sterling" is 92.5% silver. No older jewelry is going to be exactly 92.5% silver, some a little over, some a little under. It wasn't an exact thing with handmade jewelry. I've seen thousands of pieces xrf'd to prove this.

These pieces took inspiration from the Skønvirke style. This was a Scandinavian development that formed part of Denmark’s Art Nouveau and Arts and Crafts movement . This movement ususally took inspiration from nature with designs incorporating flowers and floral motifs as well as featuring natural creatures such as fish.N.E.

While<br>American-born, Taxco-based designer WilliamSpratling has been credited with<br>spearheading the contemporary Taxco silver movement, it was agroup of talented<br>Mexican designers who went on to establish independent workshops and develop<br>thedistinctive “Taxco School.” These designers incorporated numerous aesthetic<br>orientations—Pre-Columbian art; silverwork, images, and other artwork from the<br>Mexican Colonial period; andlocal popular arts—merging them within the broad<br>spectrum of modernism.Pineda himself is lauded for his bold designs and<br>ingenious use of gemstones.

Cody had a less than glamorous upbringing as many other natives living on the confines of a reservation do, but this hardscrabble life helped to develop the determination, perseverance and hard-working ambition that has attributed to Cody’s success where others have failed. Cody has gained world renowned recognition for his pieces due to his daring creativity and unique, distinctive style.Cody’s use of stars is ubiquitous in almost all of his designs. Stars are recognized in every country and continent and appears on countless flags. They symbolize the heavens, brightness and good fortune. Cody wants his brand and his pieces to convey and invoke the same positive energy to everyone who wears his jewelry or his apparel. When describing his brand with one adjective – FUN is the first thing that comes to mind! Cody wants everyone, young and old, male or female to enjoy his adornments and the craftsmanship, imagination and enthusiasm he brings to each and every work of art! Cody’s slogan is – Wear it Now! Wear it Well! Wear it Out! Achievements Of Sanderson’s Silver Craft Utilizing the fast-disappearing technique of hand-forging and integrating them with CAD and 3D printing, Cody is combining traditional methods with modern technology and bringing his designs to the 21st century! His simple ring design, for example, is shaped into a “square-circle” with an inverted V appearance. It speaks of volumes of Sanderson’s insight into the skeletal system and attempt to make the ring more comfortable for wearing.Regardless of how “aggressive” a piece may look, Cody spends hours cutting, bending, shaping and refining the piece to ensure prolonged wear-ability without causing any discomfort to the wearer or admirer. Since the brand’s inception in 2001, Cody has won numerous awards for his work including the 2005 SWAIA (Southwestern Association for Indian Arts) Fellowship Award and the 2008 “Best of Show” Award at the Heard Museum in Phoenix.Transformation From Scrap Ingot To Stunning Work Of Art!Melting - Annealing - Quenching - Rolling - Grinding - Annealing (2nd time) - Bending - Shaping - Texturing - Annealing (3rd time) - Stamping - Repousse Stamping - Repairing - Soldering - Annealing(4th time) - Quenching - Finish Grind - Hand Hammered Shaping - Annealing (5th time) - Quenching - Anticlastic Shaping - Fitting - Oxidation - Polishing - FinishedEver since 1999, each of Cody’s handmade pieces from his bracelets to rings to earrings and more have been made using ancient and traditional time consuming methods. Due to these complicated steps and difficult processes to achieve the “Artistic Value” he was looking for, he would only produce a few pieces at a time. Cody’s attention to detail makes all of his pieces worthy of the title “World Class”!!!All precious metals are tested and guaranteed.

He has used these silversmithing skills for nearly 40 years.Tony’s talent and skills combine to create beautiful, unique jewelry.

William Spratling Sterling Pan American buttons (4) c1940's .75" x 1" each. I think these go in open button holes, maybe on a shirt pocket back in the days. I think they were to celebrate a special Pan American 50 year thing in the 1940's. Selling all 4 shown for one price. . Spratling, an architect and artist who taught at Tulane University in New<br>Orleans, came to Mexico in the late 1920s and settled in the city of Taxco.<br>Having developed an interest in Mesoamerican archaeology and culture from his<br>colleagues at Tulane, he traveled to Mexico for several summers lecturing and<br>exploring. He sought out remote villages in the state of Guerrero, 110 miles<br>from Mexico City, where in some places Nahuatl, the Aztec language, was spoken.<br>Spratling collected artifacts and contemporary indigenous crafts. Spratling made<br>a fortune manufacturing and designing silver, but his true life's work was to<br>conserve, redeem, and interpret the ancient culture of his adopted country. He<br>explained for North American audiences the paintings of Mexico's modern masters<br>and earned distinction as a learned and early collector of pre-Columbian art.<br>Spratling and his workshop gradually became a visible and culturally attractive<br>link between a steady stream of notable American visitors and the country they<br>wanted to see and experience. Spratling had the rare good fortune to witness his<br>own reputation -- as one of the most admired Americans in Mexico -- assume<br>legendary status before his death. William Spratling, His Life and Art vividly<br>reconstructs this richly diverse life whose unique aesthetic legacy is but a<br>part of its larger cultural achievement of profoundly influencing Americans'<br>attitudes toward a civilization different from their own.

15" Antonio Pineda Mid Century Modernist silver choker necklace, from the 3rd quarter of the 20th century with no issues. 15" inside measurement when closed, would be longer but doesn't stretch all the way long due to it's construction. 79 grams, 14mm wide. Antonio Pineda<br>(1919-2009)In the mountain town of Taxco in Mexico’s state of Guerrero,<br>large-scale mining can be dated to thesixteenth century, and silver is a way of<br>life. In the years following the Mexican Revolution (1910–20), jewelry and other<br>silver objects were crafted there with an entirely innovative approach,<br>informedby modernism and the creation of a new Mexican national identity. Today,<br>at the age of 89, AntonioPineda is one of two living members of the Taxco School<br>and is recognized as a world-class designerand a Mexican national treasure.<br>Nearly two hundred examples of Pineda’s acclaimed silver work willbe displayed<br>in Silver Seduction: The Art of Mexican Modernist Antonio Pineda, a<br>travelingexhibition debuting at the Fowler Museum Aug. 24, 2008.Significantly,<br>given Pineda’s many accomplishments and international renown, he identifies<br>himselfprimarily as a taxqueño, or Taxco, silversmith. From its inception, the<br>Taxco movement broke newground in technical achievement and design. While<br>American-born, Taxco-based designer WilliamSpratling has been credited with<br>spearheading the contemporary Taxco silver movement, it was agroup of talented<br>Mexican designers who went on to establish independent workshops and develop<br>thedistinctive “Taxco School.” These designers incorporated numerous aesthetic<br>orientations—Pre-Columbian art; silverwork, images, and other artwork from the<br>Mexican Colonial period; andlocal popular arts—merging them within the broad<br>spectrum of modernism.Pineda himself is lauded for his bold designs and<br>ingenious use of gemstones. Silver Seduction tracesthe evolution of his work<br>from the 1930s–70s, and includes more than fifty each of necklaces andbracelets,<br>as well as numerous beautiful rings, earrings and diverse examples of his<br>hollowware andtableware. All of the works feature Pineda’s hard-to-achieve<br>combination of highly refined and hand-wrought appeal.Pineda’s jewelry is<br>especially known for its elegant acknowledgment of the human form. It is<br>oftensaid that a Pineda fits the body perfectly, that it feels right when it is<br>worn. So, for example, a thickgeometric necklace that might at first glance seem<br>too weighty or rigid to wear comfortably is, in fact,faceted, hinged, or<br>hollowed in such a way that it gracefully encircles the neck or drapes<br>seductivelydown the décolletage.In addition, no other taxqueño jeweler used as<br>many costly semiprecious stones or set them with asmuch ingenuity, skill, and<br>variety as did Pineda. Only the most talented of silversmiths could master

Margot De Taxco 5740 Sterling Pendant/pin and earrings set. Pin has loops and a hook to fix onto a necklace if wanted. Measurements in pics. 23.4 grams. No issues.Margot Van Voorhies was born in 1896 in San Francisco, California. By the time<br>she left her native country for good, she had survived the death of her father<br>in 1903, the San Francisco Earthquake in 1906, the loss of her mother at the<br>hands of a er in 1931 and the end of her first marriage in 1936.<br><br>Fortunately, a Mexican vacation changed the life of Margot Van Voorhies in ways<br>she could never have imagined. In 1937, forty-one-year-old divorcée Margot Van<br>Voorhies left San Francisco on a trip to Mexico City. Fate threw her into the<br>path of Don Antonio Castillo, who took her to Taxco, a Mexican hotbed for the<br>design, crafting, and production of silver objects, in particular jewelry and<br>housewares.<br><br>Soon, Castillo would become Margot’s second husband. At the time, Castillo was<br>working for William Spratling, a pioneer in Mexican silversmithing. He brought<br>Margot into the business as a designer, helping her to transform her paper<br>creations into three-dimensional forms in silver. In 1939, the pair, along with<br>other members of Castillo’s family, opened shop as Los Castillo Taller [Taller<br>is Spanish for “Workshop”], with Margot as the top designer.<br><br>After ten years, the marriage between Castillo and Van Voorhies dissolved, as<br>did their professional association. Margot went on to open her own shop in 1948,<br>taking the name Margot de Taxco, by which she is best known today. Seven years<br>later, enamel was added to many of her pieces, and this is where Margot found<br>her legacy.<br><br>At the peak of her career, Margot, who designed each piece herself, had two<br>dozen silversmiths and a dozen enamellists in her employ to execute her vision.<br>The men performed the duties as silversmiths; the women did the enamel work,<br>using tiny brushes to bring the watercolor drawings to life. To ensure the<br>accurate rendering of her jewelry designs, she compiled a book of instructions<br>and drawings, detailing the construction and finishing of each. Margot attracted<br>talented craftsmen who later went on to cement their own reputations, such as<br>Sigi Pineda, Miguel Melendez, and Melecio Rodriguez.<br><br>Many contemporary Hollywood celebrities were clients of Margot, including John<br>Wayne and Lana Turner, who visited her shop every year.<br><br>Tragedy struck in the form of a fire in 1960. Forced to move her studio, she<br>never again regained her prior success, and the business folded in 1974. Margot<br>granted several of the silversmiths in her employ permission to use her molds to<br>create pieces on their own, in return for debt forgiveness. As a result, many of<br>Margot’s pieces were re-created by silversmiths such as Jaimie Quiroz and<br>Geronimo Fuentes, bearing their hallmark rather than hers.<br><br>Margot passed away in 1985. But her talent as a designer and her influence as an<br>artist have continued to gain recognition since the time of her death.<br><br>Margot’s shop produced some repousse silver (a technique where a raised or<br>relief design is hammered in from the reverse side of the piece). But she is<br>best known for her champlevé enamel work. Champlevé is created by carving,<br>etching, striking, or casting troughs or cells into the surface of a piece and<br>filling it with vitreous enamel. In Margot’s jewelry, the designs were<br>die-struck, a process that was detailed and critical to the final product.<br><br>Margot produced many suites that included necklaces, brooches, bracelets, and<br>earrings, as well as convertible jewelry. Margot de Taxco jewelry is recognized<br>for its elegance, femininity, and variety.<br><br>There were many areas of influence that can be found in Margot’s work. Her fish<br>and wave motifs celebrated her love of Japanese art. The ornate swirls and<br>floral motifs were reminiscent of the Art Nouveau style. Mischievous<br>pre-Columbian figures were a recurring theme. Art Deco style ballerinas struck<br>graceful poses. Margot was also taken with Egyptian motifs and Mexican crafts.<br><br>Margot de Taxco pieces are distinguished by the stamp that includes her name,<br>Eagle 16 (or Eagle 1, for her earlier works), along with a production number.<br>Issued by the government, the eagle stamp was a way to identify th

Sorry but my jewelry is<br>stored in a secure location and cannot be accessed for more pictures, videos, or<br>measurements until sold. If you look at pictures/description your question<br>should be answered. Thank you so much for your time and consideration!<br><br> NUMEROUS award winner Navajo artist Harry Morgan (1947-2008) was a 5th<br>generation Navajo silversmith who'll always be remembered for his traditional<br>"Vintage Revival-Old Pawn" style jewelry that had these gleaming sterling<br>vintage looking darkened finishings that were made in a classic old style Navajo<br>design..The beauty he gave the sterling was so warm that it brought out the<br>metal's maximum luster..Harry once said "That's the way old style jewelry should<br>look," he said.. "When silver is all shined up it hides all of the intricate<br>detail in the stamp work and the bezels. This older style is what I grew up with<br>and what I love."<br><br>Although it was his mother who inspired him to create this style of jewelry that<br>had that old Navajo look,it was Harry however who was the 1st to bring this<br>style to the forefront of the industry..Paving the way for others like his<br>brother-in-law Kirk Smith who then followed in Harry's footsteps & with Kirk's<br>connection with other artists,they then followed in Kirk's footsteps. Now this<br>is the dominant style amongst most Navajo artists & you see this old pawn style<br>darkened finishing everywhere..Kirks name will always be associated with Harry's<br>& vise versa.<br><br>if you've ever wondered why most Navajo pieces have that old style look &<br>finishing where many of you can't tell if the piece is new or old anymore,it was<br>this man who we can give the credit to for bringing a style of jewelry that we<br>now see everywhere. He lived to see his jewelry being exhibited at the Heard<br>Museum a year before his death..<br><br>All precious metals are tested and guaranteed, any Native American jewelry<br>referred to as Silver or Sterling is guaranteed to be a minimum of 90% (coin)<br>silver and possibly higher content.
