This iconic design was originally created by William Spratling of Taxco, Mexico during his first design period in the 1930’s. The jaguar has been featured prominently in both Aztec and Mayan pre-Columbian art. William Spratling frequently incorporated pre-Columbian motifs in his jewelry designs. The pin has been faithfully recreated by Gildardo Juarez who is a master level silversmith & instructor in fine silver using the technique of repousse. This technique is seldom seen today due to time and training requirements.
