Sigi Pineda Mexican Sterling Silver Black Onyx Modernist Pin Brooch Mexico

About the Item

This is a very fine mid-century modern Black Onyx Sterling Silver brooch by Sigi Pineda of Mexico. Signed Sigi Taxco Sterling and numbered 416 I believe. The Mexican sterling silver modernist brooch is a masterpiece of mid-century design with the black onyx bar at the top and the very fine open work design. The brooch is 2 1/2 inches (63mm) long and is 1 inch (25mm) tall. Sigfrido "Sigi" Pineda began working with some of the great masters of Taxco at an early age. He became a master goldsmith at the age of 15 and continued to train in the art of jewellery making, including studying enamelling techniques on carat gold pieces in Mexico City.He established his silver workshop called Plateros in Taxco, Mexico, in 1952, when he was only 23 years old. He moved away from the traditional Mexican designs he had created for other silversmiths in the past. His modernist style is more organic and minimalist, in contrast to his predecessors who offered a traditional design based on Aztec and Mayan motifs. He was responsible for influencing the Mexican modernism art movement and creating a style so distinct that people immediately identified his work. Sigi died in 2018.
