Taxco Artists ~ Joaquin Cadena ~Josefina Alvarez (For Maria Belen )~ 925 Hand Fabricated Large 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 have the honor of doing business with,as well as carrying a full line of her jewelry.
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..
DESCRIPTION:
Hand fabricated & artisan made, the iconic Guadalupe is displayed in a Retablo style & is designed where each flower is literally sculpted by hand with remarkable detail & beautifully frames Guadalupe, like a piece of art.The way the petals of the flowers fold, seems to give it a tad of sparkle with the movement of light & seem to have a faceted feel.
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’s 8 mm-18”,which pairs well,since they have the same finishing. Can be found in my necklace listings.(Click on Navajo Pearl category)
This pendant is made in 2 sizes & this is the larger of the 2.It will match the ring & earrings I carry that are also made by this husband/wife duo. (SEE LAST PHOTO )
