Tribal hunters cavort in triumph on Antonio's storied silver bib, strung on a black velvet rope tipped with silver arrowheads. This incredible incised piece makes an indelible statement, especially when accompanied by huge matching earrings. Although the Hunter is one of Antonio's best known motifs, this rendition is rarely offered, let alone as a matched set – and you can see why! A collector's coup, fierce and feminine to bring out the man-hunter in you!
