Item:222131241867Modernist Sterling&Turquoise Inlay Starfish Brooch&Earrings, signed "BETO". Hello, and thank you for stopping by. Elegant Modernist set of starfish design brooch and screw back earrings, sterling silver with greenish-blue turquoise inlay. Made by a renown Spanish/Mexican artisan jeweler named Beto, who immigrated from Spain, escaping Franco's Nazi regime, in late 1930-s. Since that he lived and worked in Taxco. This particular set was made in 1940-50-s - the "blooming" era of Mexican Modernism. It is signed "BETO of TAXCO", and marked "925". Measurements. Brooch is about 2.5" (5 cm) in diameter. Weight: 8.5 g. You can wear it as a pendant too - looks great on choker, just put it pin's end down. Earrings are about 1.1/8" (3 cm) in diameter, each. Total weight: 5.7 g. This is a great addition to any Modernist jewelry collection.
