Antonio Pineda Mexican silver onyx mod Dangle Earrings
Impressively long and beguilingly slick with its glowing tapering dangles half-hiding a bullet-shaped piece of black onyx, this is one of Antonio Pineda’s most eye-catching set of earrings. Simple yet visually strong lines that re-affirm the philosophy of less-is-more in the world of adornment; smooth as silk, dancer-like motion; fleshy geometry (if you allow me the word combination), all come together and become a piece of wearable art in the hands of Mexico’s modernist magician…
Size / Weight: 3 3/8” long by 1/2” wide; 28.1 grams (for the set)
Hallmarks / Date: Antonio’s crown as shown as well as Eagle 17 assay mark; 1960s-70s
Condition: very good vintage with eye-catching presence, great patina and two beautiful pieces of black onyx; no damage or repairs noted except for a very shallow, small impression in the repousse half-sphere at the top of one earring - not readily visible, it does not affect presentation at all
