1930’s LOS BALLESTEROS IGUALA BLUE CABOCHON STERLING SILVER VTG MEXICAN NECKLACE
Circa 1937-1942, here is a very early necklace from Los Ballesteros. This piece was made in Iguala before Los Ballesteros moved and opened their Taxco shop in 1942. It\'s rare to come across their work produced in Iguala, as they were only there for five years.
It’s a hand-wrought piece with fifteen periwinkle blue glass cabochons. The color of blue is spectacular. Each gemstone is 1/2” in diameter, with a depth of 1/4”.
Measures a closed, wearable length of 16 1/4”, with a width of 1”. Hook and eye closure makes for a completely seamless effect.
Weighs 62.3 grams.
Hallmarked and signed in two places \"Talleres de Los Ballesteros, Iguala Gro\" in a circle with the ornate letter \"B\" inside, \"Hecho en Mexico\", and \"925.\"
In excellent vintage condition.

Please note that vintage jewelry has been pre-owned, worn, and loved by it\'s previous owner. Much of the charm and beauty of vintage Mexican jewelry comes from the unique variations and characteristics inherent in hand-wrought silver. At times you may be able to see the artisan\'s tool marks - such is the nature of hand-made jewelry. It\'s not new and perfect, nor should it be. Vintage silver items may also show age appropriate tarnish. I do notclean the pieces I offer, as collectors and connoisseurs of vintage silver jewelry do not want their valuable pieces stripped of the patina which has taken many years to acquire and is actually quite desirable. I take numerous photos, many with a macro-lens, to show the fine details of each piece, so please take a close look and consider them as part of the description. Don\'t assume anything if it\'s not in my description.
