MCM Early SIGI PINEDA Plateros Sterling Silver Green Stone Pin Brooch Mexico

Description: Sigfrido (Sigi) Pineda's long award winning career began as a teenager when he spent three years working at Los Castillo. He is a cousin to Antonio Castillo. He worked with Salvador Teran in 1945, and then with Felipe Martinez. In 1949 he became head of the enameling workshop at Margot de Taxco before opening his own shop, Plateros, in 1952. The shop was later renamed Sigi. This pin is about 1" x 2" and has a green cabochon stone 5mm x 9mm, which I think may be chrysoprase. The back is stamped with an Eagle 3 stamp, a PLATEROS TAXCO round stamp, and HECHO EN MEXICO with something illegible in the center. At one point long ago, I believe the closure was replaced. You can see two areas of old solder. The condition of this brooch is very good, preowned, with normal wear. It's sold AS-IS, so please look closely at the pictures for condition information. Feel free to ask any questions. I recommend that you clean all jewelry before wearing. Please be aware that your state sales tax will be added to your invoice. This is done automatically by eBay. I have no control over it, or the ability to remove it. The fine print: All used or preowned items are sold AS-IS. I buy most of my items from estate and private sales. This is a preowned item, so please look at all the pictures carefully for further condition information and ask any questions before bidding. I will try to answer them to the best of my ability. I sell vintage, not new, so please take into consideration that your item may not look brand new. Normally, I don’t clean or polish my vintage items outside of possibly a light dusting or damp wipe. I'll leave that to your discretion. Regarding jewelry, I'm not a jeweler, so my interpretations of stones are what I believe they are and should be considered for description purposes only and are not guaranteed. Marked metals will be described as marked (gold, sterling, pewter, etc.). Any items you see in the pictures used for display or size reference (coin, bill, etc.) are not included in the sale. Please note that some color tones in the pictures may be a light reflection from my camera, my clothing, or my bad photography. Checkout is through eBay and I only ship to the USA. All measurements are approximate. All sales are final unless I make an extreme error in my ad. If there is a problem with an item that you've purchased from me, please let me know as soon as possible. I am an honest seller and will always work with you to try to make things right. Shipping prices are not refundable. Please make sure you carefully read the auction description and really want the item before you bid. This said, there are absolutely no returns on “LOT” items, or anything stated "AS-IS". I ask that you please make your payment within 2 days of auction end. I reserve the right to relist my auction if payment is not made within 4 days of auction end. Please note that eBay will automatically open an unpaid item case against all buyers that do not pay within those 4 days. Notify me as soon as possible if you're bidding on some of my other items and wanting to discount shipping (which I will) or can't pay within that time frame. I’ll always combine shipping to save you money whenever possible. I try very hard to ship within 1 business day of receiving payment. Thank you for looking.
