06/22/2026

An antique Elgin 14K tri color gold pocket watch, size 6s, with a 7 jewel movement and an approximate weight of 64.7 grams. Marked Elgin Nat'l Watch Co. with serial number 6286960 and housed in a warranted 14K gold case, this watch reflects the compact proportions favored in smaller pocket watch formats. Offered in good non working condition, it retains the character and wear expected from age and use.

For pocket watch collectors, what details draw your attention first in an early Elgin example: the movement, the case, or the overall originality?

A substantial Taxco sterling silver cuff from the 1950s, set with turquoise and weighing approximately 101.1 grams. This piece bears a 925 Mexico mark along with the artisan code CII, reflecting the workshop identification system associated with Taxco silver production. Measuring 5.75 inches across with a 1.25 inch width, it carries the bold presence collectors often seek in mid century Mexican silver jewelry.

For collectors of Taxco silver, how much weight do you place on artisan codes when evaluating a vintage cuff?

Two turquoise cuff bracelets featuring sterling and coin silver elements. One incorporates a 1943 Walking Liberty half dollar and buffalo nickel with silver conchos, while the other is a sterling silver turquoise cuff that tests as sterling. Combined approximate sterling weight is 53.1 grams.

Coin silver and coin incorporated jewelry occupy a distinctive place within Southwestern collecting, particularly when recognizable coins remain part of the design. Paired here with a more traditional turquoise cuff, the lot offers two different approaches to silver bracelet construction. Which do you find more compelling, coin based silverwork or classic turquoise cuff designs?

Nine pieces of Taxco sterling silver abalone jewelry, all stamped .925, including a necklace, bracelet, brooch, pendant, ring, and two pairs of cufflinks. With an approximate combined weight of 75.6 grams, this lot offers a broad cross section of Taxco silverwork paired with the natural iridescence of abalone.

Collector lots like this are appealing not only for the variety of forms, but also for the opportunity to assemble a coordinated group from a single category. The inclusion of cufflinks, wearable jewelry, and display pieces makes for an especially diverse offering. Which Taxco form do you find hardest to locate today, cufflinks, brooches, or complete jewelry sets?

Callen Benson sterling silver and 18K yellow gold amethyst brooch, stamped "Callen Benson Sterling 18K," with an approximate weight of 28.4 grams. The large 2.5 inch form, mixed metal construction, and central amethyst give the piece a strong studio jewelry presence with balanced silver and gold contrast.

Signed mixed metal jewelry from named makers continues to attract collectors looking for wearable scale and identifiable craftsmanship. The amethyst adds enough color without overwhelming the metalwork. Do you prefer studio jewelry where the gemstone leads the design, or pieces where the metalwork remains dominant?

06/03/2026

Three piece Taxco sterling silver lapis lazuli graduated bead necklace and earrings set, stamped TM 31 on the necklace and TP 50 on the earrings. The graduated lapis beads range from 10mm to 18mm, creating a substantial 26 inch strand with an approximate combined weight of 164.1 grams.

Taxco silverwork paired with lapis continues to hold a strong following, especially in larger graduated forms where the stone carries visual weight alongside the silver. Matching necklace and earring sets of this scale are seen less often today. Do you prefer graduated lapis strands with uniform color, or examples that show more natural variation in the stone?
