Antonio Pineda is acknowledged as one of the Masters of silver jewelry during the Renaissance that occurred after the Mexican Revolution. When he was a teenager, he was apprenticed briefly with William Spratling at Taller de las Delicias where he learned to appreciate great design as well as developing his techniques of working silver. He later apprenticed with Valentin Vidueretta, a painter and silversmith in Mexico City, returning to Taller de las Delicias as a salesman and manager. He opened his own taller in 1939 and by the early 1950s, was recognized internationally as a leading modernist artist. His work was prized internationally for its quality and design.

The crescent necklace and earrings design has long been a favorite of collectors. It is eminently wearable, distributing its weight across the spread of the necklace. It can be difficult to find as it often sells quickly.

We are willing to break up the set if you would like either the necklace or the earrings but it is also wonderful to the offer an opportunity to own them as a set.
