Taxco Artists ~ Joaquin Cadena ~Josefina Alvarez (For Maria Belen )~ 925 Hand Fabricated Small GUADALUPE Retablo Pendant
SALE FOR PENDANT ONLY - NAVAJO PEARL NECKLACE NOT INCLUDED
Joaquin & Josefina are a husband/wife duo who reside in Taxco Mexico & make these exclusively for María Belén Nilson,whom I had the honor of meeting & doing business with on my recent trip to San Miguel de Allende!
They originally started making this pendant for Maria & because they went over so well, she then asked them to do rings & earrings to her own inventory (See matching size to this pendant in last photos)
If you do sets,this would be a wonderful one!
DESCRIPTION:
The iconic Guadalupe is displayed in a Retablo style & will show beautifully & proudly on the neck! It’s not over the top in size,but definitely will be noticed!
Hand fabricated, where each flower is literally sculpted by hand with remarkable detail & beautifully frames Guadalupe, like a piece of art.The fold of the petals seems to give it a tad of sparkle with the movement of light.
Finished in a lightly oxidized top & mirror finish on the back.
You can do a chain with this or try some oxidized sterling Navajo Pearls that will match this finish perfectly! The bale fits up to a 8 mm.Shown with Marilyn Platero Navajo Pearls in a 6 & a 8 mm bead size & can be found in my necklace listings.(Click on Navajo Pearl category)
