RARE SAPPHIRE STAR PENDANT ANTONIO PINEDA NECKLACE
Step into the rich history of Taxco's silver artistry with this captivating vintage necklace, a masterpiece crafted by the renowned Antonio Pineda. Distinguished by its high silver content, this piece comprises 970 sterling silver, offering a higher silver content than standard 925 sterling. The central feature, a striking synthetic sapphire, exudes elegance with its color-changing hues that dance from a deep blue to a royal purple as it catches the light. Designed during the golden era of Mexican silver between 1948 and 1955, evidenced by the early Mexican Eagle assayer’s mark, this necklace boasts a robust pendant symmetrically joined to a substantial, handcrafted link chain. Part of the esteemed Vintage Antonio Pineda Jewelry Collection, this necklace embodies modernist appeal while preserving the traditional craftsmanship of Taxco's silver-smithing heritage.
Note: Synthetic sapphires from the mid-1900s are remarkable for their striking clarity and vibrant hues. They offer a flawless alternative to their natural counterparts with the same chemical composition but created through meticulous human ingenuity.
