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
A variation of Antonio’s amethyst cluster necklaces that doesn’t come up often, this modernist dream is wrought in Pineda’s signature fine, .970 alloy and adorned with richly colored stones. The renowned Taxco designer plays with a-symmetry here as the necklace’s focal point, the stylized amethyst floral cascade, reaches out from the back of the neck and unfolds itself on its right side instead of occupying the center front. Each link rests its outer perimeter on the body but rises slightly above on the inner side, closer to the neck thus creating an airy, floating feeling. This is a substantial piece yet its construction and unique articulation allows it to look uncluttered and light. And just look at that hinge, tastefully hidden behind a silver leaf…
Size/Weight: 15″ long (wearable) by 1 1/8″ wide; 105.0 grams (on a postal scale)
Hallmarks / Date: Antonio’s crown as shown as well as “HECHO EN MEXICO”, “SILVER 970” and Eagle 17 assay mark; 1950s-60s
Condition: excellent vintage with lusciously colored amethyst cabochons, exquisite craftsmanship and finishing, with fantastic patina and no damage or repairs noted
