About the Item

These vintage Matl earrings capture the richly ornamented silverwork and gemstone combinations characteristic of the later evolution of the Matilde Poulat workshop. Each earring features a deeply colored pyramid-cut amethyst framed by natural turquoise cabochons, all set within the signature Matl scrollwork and articulated dangles. The hand-engraved marks matl, Mexico 925, and M. Regis 142073, together with the MS-12 stamped hallmark on the reverse, confirm mid-1970s to early 1980s Salas-period Matl workshop production. The MS-12 code denotes the specific artisan within the Salas atelier who fabricated these pieces. Bold, dimensional, and richly detailed, these earrings remain highly collectible examples of Mexican modernist jewelry and the enduring legacy of the Matl/Poulat design tradition. Authenticity & Buyer Confidence These earrings have been examined to verify the integrity of their stones, silverwork, and hallmarks. The engraved and stamped marks (matl, Mexico 925, M. Regis 142073, and MS-12) are correct and consistent with Salas-period Matl production. All turquoise and amethyst stones are original and securely set.

William Spratling Sterling & Amethyst Shell Earrings, 1950s, Ex-Goddard Estate

By William Spratling

Located in North Attleboro, MA

A rare and sculptural pair of sterling silver and amethyst earrings by William Spratling, Taxco, Mexico, circa the 1950s.

These earrings come directly from the estate of Phyllis M. Goddard, the noted Spratling scholar. This exact pair is illustrated in her reference Spratling Silver: A Field Guide (see p. 96, fig. 2-301), giving them exceptional provenance and historical importance within Spratling’s body of work. Stamped with the appropriate maker’s marks. Excellent vintage condition with natural patina and original screw-back fittings. A museum-worthy example for collectors of mid-century Mexican silver, documented studio jewelry, or Spratling’s finest work. These are truly beautiful. Each earring is a whimsical spiraled sea...
