Period retro rose and yellow gold brooch and hanging Swiss lapel watch by MICRON, c.1940. Unfortunately, the two color golds do not show on the photos. The brooch is made of YELLOW gold and has two 5-point diamonds and four 5-point rubies. Not certain if rubies are genuine, which was common during this period. The flexible braided part and MICRON watch are made of ROSE gold...

Graziella Laffi signed on both the necklace and bracelet. The enamel is in perfect condition as well as the silver. The length is 7 inches and the necklace has a wearable length of 16.5 inches. 1.25in. for the height for both the necklace and bracelet. When I see these there seems to be some that looks very much the same but there is always a change with a fish or bird in different places and size. For all Laffi collectors, just LOOK AT THAT NECKLACE!

A picture is worth a thousand words, they say, and in preparing to offer this fantastic find of mine, I am putting my trust in popular wisdom. When one has been dealing in vintage Mexican silver jewelry for as long a time as I have, one tends to hear that little "devil" in one's ear louder and louder, claiming that there is nothing new or exciting left to be encountered. Thankfully though, life and the old maestros of Taxco still keep some aces hidden up their sleeve...
