s-p2238.  This wonderful old silver pin was crafted back in the 1940's and though it is signed, we can't figure out who the artisan may have been. But it's really an interesting design -- perhaps representing Medusa? In very good condition. You'll find there's something about this face that just kind of grows on you; you'll put it out of your mind, but you'll find yourself thinking about it again...hummm...

sb2260.  The bold simplicity of this Hector Aguilar bracelet has its echoes in Pre-Columbian design.  Apprenticed under William Spratling, Aguilar opened Taller Borda, his own studio, in the 1930's and began creating his distinctive architectural jewelry.  This two dimensional silver bracelet is so beautifully crafted!  It's fascinating to see how a piece that is so elemental has such a wonderful rhythm and texture.  A signed piece with 8 interlinked panels, it measures 7-1/2" by 7/8" wide and fastens by running the post (that you see on the guard chain) through channels drilled in the bracelet ends.  SOLD

s-n2234.  Created by the fabulous Los Ballesteros in heavy silver, this 15-1/2" necklace from the 1950's is simply compelling.

And you will love how this necklace rests perfectly in a gentle, protecting curve around your neck!  SOLD -- thank you!!.

s-p2233.  The mysterious 5/8" stone in this convertible necklace / brooch changes in color depending on the light. Created by the fabulous Hector Aguilar in sterling silver, the pendant is a 2" by 2" spiraling grace of simplicity yet it conveys rhythm and fluidity.
