Taxco Modernist~Art Deco style pendant signed by J. Gomes His creations from the 40s and 50s are known for geometric shapes surrounding beautiful gemstones, and this stunning pendant fits right into his signature, hard-to-find style but at a better price-point than his more elaborate sets and pieces Blue stone has lovely character in its occlusions - not sure if it is sodalite, blue jasper, or another gemstone - has a special presence. Comparing it to other blue jasper pieces seems like the best match, but he produced similar settings with other sodalite centerpieces. Either way, the choice has lovely figuring and coloration. Geometric Modernist base design adds elegance to its elongated shape in an update to Art Deco aesthetics Great energy and reflective light About 1 1/2” from loop to bottom so practical for everyday wear and enjoyment Other Taxco and vintage sterling pieces in my closet for potential 20% bundle discount
