turquoise coral scrolled necklace

This necklace builds its effect through dense scrolled silver links, turquoise and coral cabochons, and a central pendant with fringe. The source record describes it as stamped Matl, Mexico, 925, circa 1934-1948, and gives its length as 15.25 inches.

The piece shows the color-forward Matl manner at necklace scale. Morrill describes the workshop's turn toward Mexican sources and notes Ricardo Salas's role carving coral, turquoise, and other stones for the firm's jewelry.

Giving this necklace a separate page keeps it from being absorbed into a generic turquoise-and-coral necklace record and makes the scrolled-link design searchable on its own.
