<p>[QUOTE=&quot;reader, post: 474838, member: 255&quot;]I go gaga over the 60s modernist guys although I also love Spratling’s earlier preColumbian pieces. The bracelet I destroyed was an Antonio Pineda who’s my personal fave. Thanks for the kind words-it still hurts when I think about it. I’ve also learned that I should only wear stones on my neck or ears although that damage wasn’t my fault other than not double checking the clasp. I rarely wear stones on my wrists or fingers as I’m just too hard on jewelry.</p><p><br /></p><p>Re: Your bracelet-just test it and make sure it’s holding tight before each wearing. Eventually you will probably have to adjust the tongue.</p><p><br /></p><p>Wear it in good health. It’s a very nice historic period piece. There was virtually no silversmithing in Taxco prior to the 30s. Only silver mining until an American named William Spratling moved to Taxco and started what has become a major industry.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
