The versatility of this piece is fabulous. I have displayed it on a silver neckwire, but let your imagination go and place it on a black ribbon or a velvet cord, or simply wear it as a pin. Matilde Poulat frequently made her pins with adaptors so that they could be worn in multiple ways. This piece has the original "Matl" markings and as such will continue to appreciate in value. Ricardo Salas, her nephew, ran the company until about 3 months ago when he passed away. The pieces are iconic to collectors of fine vintage Mexican jewelry and will continue to appreciate in value.
