EXCERPT FROM THE ARTICLE FOR 'THE JEWELLERY EDITOR':

By Maria Doulton

"TANE is a well-known name in Mexico and the go-to place for the most elegant silverware and jewels.  Best known for its clean lines, often inspired by pre-Hispanic designs and the ancient crafts of Mexico, the workmanship at TANE is second to none. Founded in 1942, the firm has resolutely continued to make silverware and jewels of the highest quality, all with a unique, unmistakeable style.

Which is why those in the know, including Queen Sofia of Spain, come here for a very elegant memento of the best of Mexico. From woven silver baskets to hand-hammered cutlery and the soaring forms of monumental silver jugs, the Tane look is strong and confident...."

and from other established sources:

The quality and excellence in the historical timeline of modernist jewelry design and silversmithing in North America is strongly recognized with TANE TALLER, MEXICO CITY  jewelry . It is actively sought after and participates in a strong collectible market. We have listed the few pieces we have left in our collection and they are nothing less than stellar examples of the era;  of modernism in silversmithing and in the unique and creative skill and excellence found in the work of these masters in these arts collectives. Check out that clean construction covering the amethyst mounting on the front.  You always know you have a great piece of jewelry when the back is as pretty as the front .The clasp system is simply genius and very very unique.  Huzzah!

Amethyst is a stone that's widely and vastly known for its colour and clarity. Belonging to the quartz group on minerals, it is considered to be among the more prized crystals. The gem boasts of hypnotizing light lavender to deep violet hues, which depend on the deposits of aluminium and iron.

Often viewed as a stone of peace, some believe amethyst's calming presence produces soothing dreams by bringing the dreamer more in tune with the Divine. This clarity and peacefulness also extends to the waking mind. Amethysts are said to help the mind flow freely in both mental and metaphysical dimensions.
