Description
Miguel Martinez Rancho Alegre Sterling silver turquoise Chile pin 2.5" wide x 1.25" tall x 14 grams with no issues. Martinez started his career designing for Emma Melendez in Taxco in the early 1950s before becoming the head designer at Rancho Alegre in the mid 1950s to the late 1960s, and he has continued to design great things ever since. He is a designer not a silversmith, so his pieces can have marks from several different workshops. Often, not always, his pieces are also marked "Miguel", but many of his pieces from the 1950s from Rancho Alegre don't have the extra designer mark. However, his pieces are readily recognizable by the strength of the design!
