Antonio Pineda Amethyst & Silver Spike Bracelet

This is a fabulous bracelet. I really shows off the Master Silversmith’s craftmanship and design ability. It is difficult to find this bracelet, especially in such excellent condition. It is signed with Antonios crown mark and 970 silver mark. In 1933, at age 11, Antonio Pineda began hand crafting silver as the first apprentice to the American “Father of Mexican Silver”, William Spratling. After several years of training, in 1939 Antonio opened his own silver workshop. His designs were extremely modernist and beautifully crafted. An exhibition in 1944 alongside of Magreret De Patta and Georg Jensen at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor in San Francisco solidified Antonio’s place internationally as one of the finest modern silversmiths of the mid 20th century. The interior measurements are 2.25 in. (5.71 cm) wide by 1.75 (4.45 cm) deep

Height:  1.75in. (4.45 cm)
