Antonio Pineda Mexican 970 silver pre-historic hunters Necklace
Antonio Pineda’s “velvet cord” necklace line always impressed me – the marrying of steely, glistening silver with the plush suppleness of velvet, the absolute domination of silver and black, the elegance of its minimalism is one of the renowned maestro’s most successful endeavors. The Lascaux-type hunters adorning this massive, axe-shaped pendant necklace are outlined in shadow-box and jump out of their fine silver background, tense and on edge as their ancient adventure unfolds. And the hand-hammered, spear-shaped silver tips at either end of the velvet cord are the perfect finishing touch to an already superb creation…
Size/Weight: 27″ long (from arrow-head end to arrow-head end); pendant is 5″ wide and adds a 2 1/2″ drop to the cord; 98.8 grams
Hallmarks / Date: fully hallmarked with Antonio’s crown signature, des. no YY 581, Eagle 17, 970 SILVER and HECHO EN MEXICO; 1960s
