Mexican Drop Necklaces

A very fine example of Matl (Matilde Poulat)'s incredible jewelry design and handworked silversmithing talent. This necklace, circa the 1950s, features linked panels of hand-chased silver dotted with turquoise cabochons and accented with two pyramidal amethysts. The decorated box clasp is handmade as well. The focal point of the necklace is a centerpiece with bezel-set turquoise and a large center kite-shaped amethyst. Below is a dangling embellishment with three coral cabochons, leading to three silver drops each with a turquoise cabochon. The necklace measures 18" long and weighs a total of 46.2 grams. The full centerpiece measures 2.17" from top to the bottom of the middle drop. Signed to the verso with Matl, Mexico, 925. A stunning piece!

Reason number one: this is a well-crafted necklace; The 6,5mm cultured pearls are white and lustrous. They are positioned at stations between 10mm-long 14k yellow gold tube beads, each of which is bookended with 2.9mm round yellow golds beads. The figural horned devil head is highly detailed and is of cast construction. The devil head has tiny diamond eyes.
