About the Item

These vintage Matl earrings capture the richly ornamented silverwork and gemstone combinations characteristic of the later evolution of the Matilde Poulat workshop. Each earring features a deeply colored pyramid-cut amethyst framed by natural turquoise cabochons, all set within the signature Matl scrollwork and articulated dangles. The hand-engraved marks matl, Mexico 925, and M. Regis 142073, together with the MS-12 stamped hallmark on the reverse, confirm mid-1970s to early 1980s Salas-period Matl workshop production. The MS-12 code denotes the specific artisan within the Salas atelier who fabricated these pieces. Bold, dimensional, and richly detailed, these earrings remain highly collectible examples of Mexican modernist jewelry and the enduring legacy of the Matl/Poulat design tradition. Authenticity Buyer Confidence These earrings have been examined to verify the integrity of their stones, silverwork, and hallmarks. The engraved and stamped marks (matl, Mexico 925, M. Regis 142073, and MS-12) are correct and consistent with Salas-period Matl production. All turquoise and amethyst stones are original and securely set.

William Spratling Sterling Amethyst Shell Earrings, 1950s, Ex-Goddard Estate
By William Spratling
Located in North Attleboro, MA
A rare and sculptural pair of sterling silver and amethyst earrings by William Spratling, Taxco, Mexico, circa the 1950s. Each earring is formed as a stylized spiral conch shell accented with rich amethyst cabochons, a motif that showcases Spratling’s ability to merge organic inspiration with modernist design. These earrings come directly from the estate of Phyllis M. Goddard, the noted Spratling scholar. This exact pair is illustrated in her reference Spratling Silver: A Field Guide (see p. 96, fig. 2-301), giving them exceptional provenance and historical importance within Spratling’s body of work. Stamped with the appropriate maker’s marks. Excellent vintage condition with natural patina and original screw-back fittings. A museum-worthy example for collectors of mid-century Mexican silver, documented studio jewelry, or Spratling’s finest work. These are truly beautiful. Each earring is a whimsical spiraled sea...

Silvia Furmanovich Egypt Marquetry Fan Earrings, Blue Topaz, Diamonds 18K Gold
By Silvia Furmanovich
Located in North Attleboro, MA
Striking and sculptural, these Silvia Furmanovich drop earrings from the Egypt Collection showcase her acclaimed marquetry technique with vivid geometric motifs, pear-shaped blue topaz, and delicate diamond pavé. A wearable piece of art from one of today’s most collectible jewelers. Packaged for gifting. ⸻ Celebrate the visual poetry of Silvia Furmanovich’s award-winning marquetry work with these exceptional drop earrings from the Egypt Collection. Handcrafted in 18K yellow gold, each earring features a fan-shaped panel of fine wood inlay, rendered in deep lapis tones with repeat Egyptian-inspired motifs. The marquetry is framed with a line of light brown diamonds at the curve, adding a subtle shimmer without competing with the pattern. Above each panel, a pear-shaped blue topaz (5.98 total carats) sits in a refined prong setting, its clarity and color offering a clean, modern contrast to the intricate inlay work. Silvia's marquetry is created by Brazilian artisans who use indigenous, naturally colored wood to create the hand-cut vignettes. These earrings are brand-new. This pair has been handled only for photos and has never been worn. A standout addition for collectors of contemporary art jewelry, Furmanovich enthusiasts, or anyone drawn to the fusion of ancient motifs and modern craftsmanship. ⸻ CONDITION NOTES • New and unworn • No wear, no scratches, no discoloration to metal or marquetry • Original earring backs and findings intact and pristine ⸻ SPECIFICATIONS • Designer: Silvia Furmanovich • Collection: Egypt • Materials: 18K yellow gold, marquetry wood inlay...
