14" Antonio Pineda Mid Century Modernist 970 silver choker necklace, from the 3rd quarter of the 20th century with no issues. 14" inside measurement when closed, would be longer but doesn't stretch all the way long due to it's construction. 82.3 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

14.25 インチ ジョージ ジェンセン アールデコ スターリングとムーンストーン チョーカー ネックレス。閉じた状態で長さ 14.25 インチ x 幅 5/8 インチ x 48.4 グラム。写真は 12 インチの首に付けた状態で、特に問題はありません。ジョージ ジェンセン（8 月 31 日生まれ） 、1866年、デンマーク、ラードヴァッド、1935年10月2日にコペンハーゲンで死去）、デンマークの銀細工師およびデザイナーであり、モダンメタルデザインの商業的応用で国際的な名声を博した。彼の作品のシンプルな優雅さと、ジェンセン製品の特徴である精巧な職人技への重点は、世界中で認められています。ジェンセンは 14 歳で金細工師に弟子入りしました。彼の芸術的才能は一時的に彫刻に集中していましたが、彼は、1904 年にコペンハーゲンに開いた工房で製作された、主に宝飾品や銀製品などの金属加工に戻りました。ジェンセンは、いくつかの主要な海外の展示会で作品を展示し (1910 年のブリュッセル展示会で金メダルを獲得)、すぐに芸術家としての評判を築きました。優れた、非常に独創的な銀細工師。彼は 1912 年により大きな工房に移転し、1919 年に最初の工場建物を取得しました。ジェンセンの銀製品はすぐに人気を博し、商業的成功を収めました。実際、彼は現代の銀の製造から利益を実現した最初の銀製造者でした。ジェンセンの時代まで、事実上成功している銀製品メーカーはすべて、人気のある伝統的なデザインの標準的なレパートリーに依存していました。しかし、ジェンセンは、彼の洗練されたシンプルな作品の市場が誰も予想していたよりも大きいことに気づきました。彼の会社は急速に成長し、ヨーロッパ全土に拡大し、ロンドンとニューヨーク市にも支店を開設しました。どちらの大陸でも、ジェンセンの作品は現代食器のトレンドを生み出しました。彼は、以前は低品質で安価な食器にのみ適していると考えられていた鋼を、美しく実用的なカトラリーに加工した最初のデザイナーの一人です。

14k gold/Sterling and Lapis Navajo Seed pot by Dennis or Bobby Nofchissey.3.25" x 1 3/8" x 135.1 grams. The vertical strips top and bottom are tested and guaranteed solid 14k gold, also the second ring from the top. It is tough to photograph silver and gold together and show their true colors at least for me. This is a top end gallery piece which is hopefully evident from the pics. Both Dennis and Bobby are award winning artisan's. This piece is likely around 30 years old, when this was made metal prices were around 1/10 of what they are today. A piece of this quality would costs thousands directly from the artisan in today's market.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.

15th/16th century Vellum Antiphonal leaf. This is on Vellum/hide. There are some tears but it's stable in the frame. For some weird reason there is clear tape on the back of the glass and a little on the front, possibly they taped the two panes together and over time the tape degraded a little, still it displays well. Slightly illuminated in the picture shown. 22.5" x 16" framed.The origins of liturgical music traditionally date back to St. Gregory the Great (d. 604), who was inspired by the Holy Dove to record the principles of 'Gregorian' chant. The Gradual contained the musical parts of the Missal and was sung from the steps (gradus) of the altar. The Antiphoner contained the musical sections of the Breviary. These terms have become interchangeable in modern times. Because of their size and complexity, these manuscripts were still being handmade in the traditional way for centuries after the introduction of printing. They were boldly hand-written and illuminated on large sheets of sturdy vellum so that the entire choir could read from one book.
