C. 1980's - 1990's. An incredible, chunky, heavyweight Mexican artisan sterling silver cross link rolo chain with toggle clasp. There is some truly beautiful craftsmanship at play with this piece. Each link is hand forged, and every other link has been forged and soldered together in a cross pattern. This chain is super weighty, a security blanket of solid silver against the chest. The sturdy toggle clasp has carved details at each end, very cohesive with the design. Hallmarks and purity stamped on the toggle.
From the London estate of fashion maven Fiona Ronaldson, who served as buying director for Harvey Nichols in the 1980's, and editor-in-chief for Joyce Magazine Hong Kong in the 1990's.
