Pallarols Limited Sterling Silver YPO Buenos Aires 1977 Heart Box Pendant

Descended from a line of prestigious Catalan silversmiths, whose works are found in the Vatican and in major Argentine collections, museums and churches, he is training two of his sons to become the seventh generation of Pallarols in the trade. His own creations, he says, are in the hands of King Juan Carlos of Spain and President Francois Mitterrand of France, and are often selected by the Argentine government as official gifts to foreign dignitaries.
Mr. Pallarols's work - exclusively in sterling silver (with a purity level of 925 out of 1,000, or 92.5 percent silver) - reflects both the curvaceous lines of the southern European tradition to which he was born and the imagery of his native South America: delicately chiseled cockatoos from the Amazon, condors from the Andes, thistle flowers from the Argentine countryside or passion flowers from Paraguay and northern Argentina.
YPO is a
global leadership community of chief executives driven by the shared belief that the world needs better leaders.
This heart pendant is a sliding box with a hidden compartment.  The sterling has quite a bit of superficial scratch that
should be easy for a good jeweler to polish out. There are no dents or dings.  The heart measures approx. 1 5/8" X 1.5" wide.
It is marked as shown,
engraved on the front and stamped on the back.   33.0 gr
