WILLIAM SPRATLING TAXCO AMETHYST BROOCH

A museum-quality brooch by William Spratling, the visionary silversmith who defined Taxco's golden age. This sterling silver parrot pin, designed in 1943 and crafted between 1944–1946, captures Spratling's signature naturalism—the bird poised delicately beside a deep purple amethyst cabochon. Featured in Mexican Silver, this piece exemplifies his early design period when he pioneered the marriage of Pre-Columbian aesthetics with modernist form.

Fully hallmarked, the brooch showcases exceptional craftsmanship: hand-finished sterling silver with meticulous detailing and a richly saturated amethyst stone. A statement piece for serious collectors, it represents both artistic significance and investment potential. Spratling's work commands recognition among jewelry historians and connoisseurs for its enduring influence on Mexican silver design. An heirloom-caliber acquisition for those who appreciate mid-century artisanal excellence and documented provenance.

SOLD OUT: Vintage Antonio Pineda Jewelry | Chunky Modernist Onyx Necklace Taxco Mexico

The MATL cross is absolutely lovely. I am having to get a couple of cracked 2mm turquoise cabochons replaced, but that is because it is a vintage piece, and luckily, Alltribes Indian Art out of Gilbert, Arizona, is willing to match the stones and do the repair for me! So I am happy!
