Hector Aguilar Taxco Mid Century Modernist sterling silver screw back earrings. Selling the earrings shown with no issues. Hector Aguilar was a master silversmith, jewelry maker, and the first graduate from William Spratling’s famous apprenticeships in Taxco, Mexico. He met<br>Spratling almost by chance while bringing a load of tourists to Taxco from<br>Mexico City in the 1930s. Aguilar was one of Spratling’s best pupils, who often<br>worked with close-to-pure silver (rated at 980 instead of the 925 of sterling<br>silver on the silver scale). Aguilar was also a great businessman who only<br>stayed at Spratling’s workshop for three years before finding investors for his<br>own workshop, Taller Borda.<br><br>Aguilar’s Taller Borda became a huge success in 1943, when they secured a<br>contract with an American jewelry company, Coro. They produced several notable<br>designs for Coro throughout the 1940s. Hector kept Taller Borda running until<br>1966 when he closed up shop and enjoyed a nearly 20-year retirement, his place<br>in the firmament of great Mexican silversmiths already secured.<br><br>What kind of art did Hector Aguilar make?<br>Hector Aguilar was a silversmith, jewelry designer, and artist whose work helped<br>popularize Mexican silver in the 1940s and 1950s. His workshop’s pieces for the<br>retailer, Coro were instrumental in this endeavor. That relationship lasted<br>nearly a decade and produced some of Aguilar’s most vital work. As with most of<br>the Mexican silversmiths from this time, these designs were heavily inspired by<br>pre-Columbian artifacts and the folk art of Mesoamerica. Aguilar’s work<br>continued to innovate over the next several decades, bolstered the quality of<br>his pieces, which often used much more pure silver than his competitors. These<br>days Aguilar’s jewelry is highly sought after for his mastery of the craft of<br>silversmithing as well as its extremely high silver rating.<br><br>How did silversmith Hector Aguilar get started?<br>Hector Aguilar was born in 1905 in Mexico City. Not much is known of his early<br>years, but a chance encounter with William Spratling in the early 1930s set him<br>on a silversmithing career that would span three decades. Aguilar brought<br>tourists from Mexico City to the small town of Taxco, a place that as fate would<br>have it also was where Spratling was starting his silver workshop. Aguilar<br>worked for several years as the shop manager for Spratling while also becoming<br>an apprentice silversmith. After three years, Aguilar left to start his own<br>workshop, Taller Borda. That workshop would create countless beautiful pieces,<br>with unceasing quality up until its closure in 1966.

James Avery founded his company in 1954, initially crafting jewelry in a two-car<br>garage in Kerrville, Texas, with just $250 and a desire to create lasting value<br>for others. Mr. Avery believed that meaning is what makes life more beautiful<br>and this concept continues to drive how we design jewelry to this day. In 2007, 53 years after he first founded the company, James Avery officially stepped down<br>as CEO and passed the reins on to his sons, Chris and Paul. Mr. Avery’s mission was simple: to create jewelry with meaning—both for himself<br>and others. With a focus on creating straightforward designs and a core belief<br>of integrity in all things, his jewelry became more than precious metals and<br>gemstones. Guests came to him with their stories—their special moments—so he<br>could craft them into pieces they would wear with pride for a lifetime. From<br>writing letters to greeting Customers, Mr. Avery prioritized developing lasting<br>relationships with each person who connected with his designs.

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

Jules Brenner y Henry Steig formaban parte del grupo de destacados joyeros de estudio de Nueva York de mediados de siglo que elaboraban a mano piezas de arte vestible que celebraban la vanguardia, rechazaban las formas de joyería tradicionales y atraían a un intelectual y clase media liberal. Jules Brenner nació en el Bronx, creció en Washington Heights y estudió actuación con Stella Adler y pintura y escultura en Greenwich Village. Henry Steig (también conocido como Henry Anton) estudió en el City College y en la Academia Nacional de Diseño, y comenzó su carrera como músico de jazz, escritor, novelista, caricaturista y pintor de jazz de la ciudad de Nueva York. Durante la década de 1950, tanto Brenner como Steig operaban tiendas y estudios en Manhattan y en Provincetown, Massachusetts (entonces un enclave de artistas prominentes), donde vendían diseños en plata y oro labrados a mano que a menudo enfatizaban formas biomórficas, surrealistas, cubistas y geométricas.Todo el mundo conoce la famosa imagen de la película The Seven Year Itch, de Marilyn Monroe parada en una acera de Nueva York, con la falda levantada por la corriente ascendente de la rejilla del metro. Sin embargo, no todos saben que en ese momento ella estaba parada frente a la joyería de Henry Steig en 590 Lexington Avenue.Henry Steig era un hombre de muchos talentos. Antes de convertirse en joyero, fue músico de jazz, pintor, escultor, artista comercial, caricaturista, fotógrafo, cuentista y novelista."Henry era un hombre del Renacimiento", dice el caricaturista neoyorquino Mischa Richter, buen amigo de Steig y vecino de Provincetown.Henry Anion Steig nació el 19 de febrero de 1906 en la ciudad de Nueva York. Sus padres, Joseph y Laura, habían llegado a Estados Unidos a principios de siglo, desde Lvov (llamado Lemberg en alemán), que entonces se encontraba en el puerto polaco del Imperio austrohúngaro. Joseph era pintor de casas y Laura, costurera.Tuvieron cuatro hijos, Irwin, Henry, William y Arthur, todos ellos versátiles, talentosos y artísticos. William Steig es el conocido caricaturista y autor-ilustrador de libros infantiles neoyorquino. Irwin fue un escritor de cuentos para el New Yorker. Arthur fue un pintor y poeta cuyos poemas se publicaron en las revistas New Republic y Poetry.William Steig recuerda: "Mi padre y mi madre comenzaron a señalar y a convertirse en artistas expositores cuando sus hijos crecieron." En el número del 14 de mayo de 1945 de la revista Newsweek, se publicó un artículo sobre una exposición, "posiblemente la primera exposición familiar en Art Row (57th Street)" en la New Art Circle Gallery. Se llamaba "Los ocho Steigs intérpretes, todos artistas"."Se incluyeron pinturas de Joseph y Laura Steig; dibujos y esculturas de William y pinturas de su esposa, Liza; pinturas de Arthur y su esposa, Aurora; y fotografías de Henry y pinturas de su esposa, Mimi. El único hermano no incluido fue Irwin, "el único Steig inconformista", que trabajaba en ese momento como director de publicidad de un fabricante de jabón de Connecticut.En el artículo "los hermanos atribuyen la abundancia de buenos artistas de la familia al hecho de que a todos nos gusta el trabajo de los demás... nos entusiasmamos con él. Cada vez que alguien empieza recibe mucho estímulo. Joseph Steig añade: “La pintura es algo contagioso. Si vivieras en nuestro entorno, probablemente señalarías.'"Henry Steig creció en este entorno extraordinario. La familia vivía en el Bronx. Después de graduarse de la escuela secundaria, Henry Steig fue al City College (CCNY). Después de tres años lo dejó para estudiar pintura y escultura en la Academia Nacional de Diseño. También era un músico consumado, tocaba el saxofón, el violín y la guitarra clásica, y mientras estaba en la universidad, comenzó a trabajar como músico de jazz. Aproximadamente desde 1922, cuando sólo tenía dieciséis años, hasta 1932 tocó instrumentos de lengüeta con bandas de baile locales.Después de cuatro años en la Academia Nacional, Steig trabajó como artista comercial y caricaturista. Firmaba sus dibujos animados como "Henry Anton" porque su hermano William trabajaba como dibujante al mismo tiempo, para muchas de las mismas revistas. Aproximadamente entre 1932 y 1936, las caricaturas de Henry Anton aparecieron en Life, Judge, New Yorker y otras revistas.Steig comenzó una carrera como escritor en 1935 que duró hasta aproximadamente 1947. Se volvió muy exitoso y conocido como escritor de cuentos, y sus historias aparecían regularmente en Saturday Evening Post, New Yorker, Esquire, Colliers y otros. A menudo eran cuentos humorísticos sobre el jazz y los músicos de jazz que poblaron el mundo de la música en los locos años veinte. Otras historias trataban sobre su infancia en el Bronx. También escribió artículos para revistas de no ficción, incluido un perfil neoyorquino de Benny Goodmon y crítica de jazz. Varios de sus artículos de no ficción fueron ilustrados por William Steig.En 1941, Alfred A. Knopf publicó la novela de Henry Steig, Send Me Down. La historia, contada con absoluto realismo, trata sobre dos hermanos que se convierten en músicos de jazz en los años veinte. En la sobrecubierta, Steig escribió: "Gran parte del material de Send Me Down fue recopilado durante mis años como músico de jazz tocando con bandas de jazz locales y con grupos itinerantes en vodevil y en giras de salones de baile. Aunque como músico sólo era de segunda categoría, conozco mi tema desde dentro y creo que fui el primero en escribir historias sobre músicos de jazz, basadas en experiencias personales reales." Su hijo, Michael, recuerda que había cierto interés en hacer una película del libro. "Mi padre me dijo que John Garfield quería interpretar el personaje principal."Steig fue a Hollywood en 1941, bajo contrato para escribir guiones. Iba a trabajar con Johnny Mercer, el compositor. Después de la invasión de Pearl Harbor el 7 de diciembre, regresó a Nueva York. "Sin duda habría regresado de todos modos", afirma Michael Steig. "No estaba contento con el contrato que su agente había negociado para él." Probabilidades de Mischa Richter, "Henry no estaba muy impresionado con Hollywood."

Lisa D'Agostino 18k/Sterling modernist earrings 10-11mm square, high quality<br>workmanship and design. No backs included, no other issues. 5.2 grams.For Lisa,<br>working with her hands has been the only thing that has ever really interested<br>her. Her curiosity about the potential for designing and creating with metal has<br>lasted since 1980. That year she participated in her first art fair. The shows<br>were local at first, but gradually developed into national venues that included<br>galleries as well. Except for an additional 12-year foray into baskets (see "The<br>Basketmaker's Art", Lark Publications) her focus has been on jewelry.The designs<br>have evolved over the years but the inspirations have remained the same. Lisa's<br>pieces are informed by geometry and architecture but tempered by the poetic and<br>philosophical aspects presented by astronomy. She ponders a phrase from an old<br>sixties song... "we are stardust - billion year old carbon."The work begins with<br>a loose drawing until a new solution or idea presents itself. It is a balance<br>between intention/chance and spontaneity/deliberation. The contours and forms<br>are simple at first. She likes the rigor and order of basic geometric shapes but<br>then organizing them into something more complex. Shapes are cut out of sterling<br>silver and formed or scored and soldered together. Other parts are distorted<br>through the rolling mill. Surfaces are textured with files or hammers or fused<br>with silver dust or 18K yellow gold. Many techniques may be incorporated into<br>one piece using a variety of hand tools, some of which are her oldest<br>buddies.The final steps involve patination of the piece, and then selectively<br>removing some of the patina to leave combinations of matte or polished surface<br>areas. Earthy rough stones and lustrous pearls are used to further enhance the<br>piece.Lisa was formally introduced to art at college. She earned a Bachelor of<br>Fine Arts degree at Bowling Green State University in 1977, but never really<br>learned to solder well until she was able to work in her own studio. She went<br>back to school, and after 3 years she earned a Master of Fine Arts degree from<br>the University of Kansas in 1991. During this time she continued to show and<br>sell her work at many selected art fairs and galleries across the country.All<br>precious metals are tested and guaranteed, any Native American jewelry referred<br>to as Silver or Sterling is guaranteed to be a minimum of 90% (coin) silver and<br>possibly higher content. Most cuff bracelets are shown photographed on a 6"<br>woman's wrist and will include a photo showing the inside circumference where<br>the metal tip meets the number on the tape measure.

T Foree Hunsicker (1932-2015) Sterling Silver Luggage tag Clip on Earrings. Nice large heavy clip on earrings 59 grams 2 5/8" long x 1.75" wide. No significant issues, clips work well with good springs. T Foree Hunsicker (1932-2015) In 1954, she graduated from the University of Texas with a degree in art. At UT, she was a member of Pi Beta Phi sorority. Later, she studied at Corcoran Gallery in Washington, DC and the Arts Students League in New York City. A life-long Francophile, in July of 1956, she made the first of many trips to Europe, this initial journey on the venerable Queen Elizabeth. Foree always had an artistic bent. At various times, she was a painter, clothes designer, and interior decorator. Her greatest success, however, came as a jewelry manufacturer when she started a company in 1987 called Medalias by Foree Hunsicker. At one time employing nearly fifty people, Medalias specialized in luggage tag jewelry, reproducing in sterling silver a wide variety of Victorian-era luggage tags and fashioning them into earrings, necklaces, and other accessories. A fixture for many years in the North Texas design world and at the Apparel Mart, Foree was honored with a Dallas Fashion Award in 1995.
