Rarest of the rare silver bracelets by master designer, Antonio Pineda. The only other example of this bracelet that I have seen is illustrated in "Silver Seduction: The Art of Mexican Modernist Antonio Pineda". Fits small/ medium wrist. Safety chain makes it difficult to measure length precisely; 13/16" wide. Wonderfully designed clasp that is seamlessly integrated with the links. Excellent condition; circa 1960.
Set of three silver bangle bracelets, each with a different design. All are 970 silver, higher quality than the sterling minimum. Inside diameter of bracelets is 2 1/2"; all are in excellent condition. Wonderful worn singly or as a set.

Early sterling silver necklace by Los Castillo . Each link is subtly curved to create a wonderful, three dimensional design. The large silver ball on each link is more than decorative. It is the top of the post connecting the links so that they can swivel and conform to the curve of the neck. Measures 16 3/4" long and 1" at widest. 1940's hallmark.

Unique sterling silver anchor centered with an eye to ward off evil at sea. Backing has what I believe is the virgin of Guadalupe, known as "la reina de Mexico" (the queen of Mexico). Suspended on a 23" chain. I don't expect you'll find another one like this.
