Dear Friends and Customers,
One Good Eye Silver is embarking on a big adventure as we prepare to move overseas. Though I am excited about our new beginning, I am also saddened for leaving after having spent almost thirty years in the US..
Until the move is completed, feel free to browse the site and email us with any questions you might have or to say “hi” but please do not try to purchase anything!
I am planning to re-configure the business and re-launch, from Europe this time, in the late Fall of 2024, if not earlier, and hope you will be patient and, once we are "live" again, honor us with your patronage.
Thank you very much for your trust all these years and for the thought-provoking conversations we have had - on jewelry, the history of personal adornment and life in general! See you again in a few months,
Margarita Poutouridou
One Good Eye Silver
Deeply carved so as to represent folds in a fancy bow tie the green agate in this big Mexican Deco brooch has beautiful color variation and is pleasantly "soft" to the touch. The substantial stone is generously backed in silver and held in place with sturdy, hand-wrought prongs. Classically Deco, I also find it rather tongue-in-cheek, an elegant "mockery" of the stiffness of "proper attire"...
Size / Weight: 3" wide by 1 1/2" tall; 33.6 grams
Hallmarks / Date: "SILVER MEXICO"; pre-1948
Condition: excellent vintage with a beautiful stone, nicely carved, with no damage and no repairs noted
