This is a Hubert Harmon iconic design that you will find when scrolling through his work. He was an American who was trained in Paris, then went to Taxco in the 1940’s. He produced work that embodied his whimsical personalty versus playing off of the traditional cultural influence, and was known for working with mixed metals. He was considered a modernist that was highly sought after and currently continues to be very collectable and quite rare. Some of his most notable motifs include fish, serpents, and atomics, which remain in the market as “Hubert Harmon Influenced” reproductions.

I came across this authentic Hubert Harmon necklace and did what I could to bring home yet another rarity from one of the Masters of early Taxco metalwork. The piece is encouraged to be worn as a necklace—with or without the fish pendant, or as a belt. The work is raw in nature, bold, and chunky. It is casual but is a statement. It hangs well, is versatile, and is such sweetness to offer.

Like the Salvador Terán earrings, I will be fortunate to hold another piece of Hubert Harmons.

Necklace is handmade of brass rings and domes with central floral motif from which the fish pendant hooks. Set with black cabochons.
