William Spratling Continental Solidarity Brooch in Sterling Silver
This rare and historically important Taxco silver jewelry piece by William Spratling is known as the Continental Solidarity brooch. Created in 1942 to symbolize unity among the Americas during World War II and to raise funds for the Red Cross, it features gilded silver accents on the Northern Hemisphere for added contrast. This mid-century modern design is well-documented in Spratling Silver: A Field Guide by Phyllis Goddard, William Spratling and The Mexican Silver Renaissance by Penny Morrill, and Silver Jewelry Design by Nancy Schiffer. With its bold imagery of two hands joined across continents, this vintage silver jewelry treasure exemplifies Spratling’s commitment to artistry, cultural symbolism, and exceptional craftsmanship. A wonderful addition for collectors of Mexican silver jewelry, it also represents a timeless piece of investment silver jewelry and a thoughtful gift for jewelry collectors seeking truly unique silver jewelry.

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.
