Antonio Pineda<br>(1919-2009)In the mountain town of Taxco in Mexicos 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 (191020), 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 Pinedas 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 Pinedas 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>orientationsPre-Columbian art; silverwork, images, and other artwork from the<br>Mexican Colonial period; andlocal popular artsmerging 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 1930s70s, 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 Pinedas hard-to-achieve<br>combination of highly refined and hand-wrought appeal.Pinedas 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.

M Navajo Basket form sterling/copper pendant/pin earrings set. No issues, I'll put new (possibly not sterling) replacement backs on the earrings before shipping as they are missing.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. Bracelets are photographed on a 6" women's wrist.

William Spratling Silver Dome screw back earrings, no issues. . 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.

Antonio Pineda (1919-2009) Taxco Modernist sterling screw back earrings. Selling the earrings shown with no issues.Antonio Pineda (1919-2009)In the mountain town of Taxco in Mexico’s state of Guerrero,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 silver objects were crafted there with an entirely innovative approach, 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 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 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
