This charming vintage sterling silver statement pin by the world-famous Mixtec artist Federico Jimenez features a modernist style butterfly motif crafted with three bezel set natural Royston turquoise stones. The eyes are designed as rings, and the antennae are elegantly styled with twist wire, adding to the unique and artistic appeal of the piece. The lower back of the center setting is stamped with Federico’s hallmark and STERLING, ensuring its authenticity. Purchased directly from Federico himself, this pin is a true collector's item. The total height is 2.5”, width at the widest point is 3.125”, and the total weight is 49 grams.
Condition Note: Because this pin was made with natural (untreated) turquoise, the stones in the center and on the left do have fissures in the turquoise which have developed over time. Additionally, there is a small chunk out of the stone in the center along the right edge, about 0.125" in diameter. The stones feel secure in their settings.
