Lovely Large Mexican Sterling Butterfly

Exceptionally large sterling silver butterfly made in Mexico is 2-1/2"+ from wing tip to wing tip. Inlaid with lustrous paua shell.  The availability of this beautiful shell made it perfect for jewelry and decorative object inlay, making each piece special and actually one of a kind ! This piece also has very nice detail. This is signed EGF inside the Heochen Mexico 925 circle. No assay mark.  Good condition.

A number of years ago I purchased the inventory of a jewelry shop primarily dealing in Southwestern and Mexican sterling silver. Many of the items were unused old stock still in the original wrappings and boxes. They date from the 1940's through the 1980's. Most of these items are in good to excellent condition maybe only needing a good clean and polish.
