Continental Solidarity William Spratling Brooch in Sterling Silver
This historical mid-century piece by William Spratling was created in 1942, during a pivotal time when Mexico entered World War II. Known as the Continental Solidarity brooch, the design features two joined hands in front of a stylized outline of the Americas, symbolizing unity in the Western Hemisphere. Uniquely mounted on a rarely seen rosewood base, the sterling silver motif highlights Spratling’s commitment to raising funds for the Red Cross through his artwork. The handcrafted construction, including a silver hallmark encircled with “Spratling” and “Made in Mexico,” dates the piece to between 1940 and 1944. This collectible Taxco pin also bears the “Spratling Silver” mark, confirming its authenticity and illustrating Spratling’s innovative approach to combining precious metals with fine wood elements.

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.
