Azurmalachite William Spratling Taxco Brooch in Sterling Silver
Likely crafted in the late 1940s, this William Spratling stylized parrot brooch (known as “Lorenzo”) showcases a striking azurmalachite stone, a gemstone Spratling incorporated after 1944 according to Spratling Silver: A Field Guide by Phyllis Goddard. With its bold Aztec-inspired design, this Taxco silver jewelry statement piece is featured on page 38 of Mexican Silver by Penny Morrill and Carole Berk (Schiffer Publishing, 2007) and on page 46 of Spratling Silver: A Field Guide. The hallmark includes “SPRATLING” and “MADE IN MEXICO” in a circular design, as well as “STERLING” with a reversed “N,” a recognized bench error in Spratling’s workshop.

Such a special brooch. I have ordered from Wendy several times and am always so pleased
Hermosa pulsera, el trabajo del artesano es exquisito. Envío perfecto, muy bien protegido y llegada puntual. Volveré a comprar en esta tienda.
Working with Wendy was a pleasure. I had purchased the wrong size of a bracelet for a gift. She returned it and sent a new size that fit my husband. She was very helpful! She is so very easy to work with, I Strongly recommend her when purchasing a product.
Exquisite jewelry pieces purchased, and excellent customer service and shipping.
Such beautiful choices here. I am always so pleased with my purchases.
I love finding special items in this shop. This sweet Calla Lily pin is absolutely perfect all around. I have a garden full of wild Calla Lilies. I picked this one out to wear for a special occasion - and after that? Well, everyday is a special occasion, right? Thank you!!
Fabulous pendant and necklace in excellent condition. The pendant is even more than what I was looking for and I was quite thrilled to find it. Wendy has extremely high quality items in excellent artistic taste and condition. I have purchased several pieces from her and consider them to be some of my most favorite items.
