Cheo Mexican silver modernist Necklace ~ Antonio Pineda design
Based on an Antonio Pineda design this Mexican modernist silver necklace by Cheo I would go as far as to describe as "industrial"! The oblong sterling links and the concave oval connectors are characterized by strong geometry and have an intense "utilitarian" vibe about them. And the opaque green "onyx" glass bars they encompass mirror that "no fuss" attitude. Cheo is one of those workshops we don't know much about but I have seen their work several times over the years. Their jewelry is often based on designs by more famous designers but they have an affinity for monumentality and they are very good at it too...
Size / Weight: 16 3/8" long by 7/16" wide; 86.8 grams
Hallmarks / Date: maker's signature as shown as well as "HECHO EN MEXICO", "TAXCO" and "925"; 1940s
Condition: excellent vintage with stunning presence, a strong "bad girl" attitude, beautiful patina and no damage or repairs noted
