This Antonio Pineda design is rarely seen. The work is beautiful with graceful shaping of the leaves, ingeniously designed hinges that allow the necklace to mold to the shape of the wearer’s neckline, and 3 dimensionality to the leaves themselves. The crown and other elements of the hallmark are testimony to the making of this necklace between 1953-1979. The patina on the necklace is also desirable.
