I am so pleased to be able to offer this sleek and moderne sterling silver and high polished petrified wood tie clasp by well known Modernist artist, Enrique Ledesma of Taxco, Mexico. This tie clasp is vintage, circa 1955, and the "stone" almost looks like agate, but I'm pretty certain, with the whorls and grain, this is high polished petrified wood - it's really astoundingly pretty, my photos didn't quite capture the beauty. The tie clasp is backed and edged in sterling silver and closes with an alligator-type clasp. A wonderful piece by this artisan! Ledesma was an artist first, studying at the San Carlos Academy of Art in Mexico City before becoming an apprentice in his father's workshop. Ledesma soon moved to Taxco and began working with William Spratling and then Los Castillo before establishing his own workshop in 1950. Ledesma is well known for the fact that his jewelry is technically flawless and wearable pieces of art. A true investment and an heirloom!
