Ana Nunez Brilanti, known as Victoria to Mexican Silver collectors, established a small workshop in Taxco Mexico in the 1940s. Much of her work is influenced by pre-Columbian art, although she created some highly individualistic modern designs. Brilanti is credited with introducing the "metales casados" or married metals technique to Taxco and was a strong proponent in establishing the 1948 Eagle mark system as a guarantee of quality. In the early 1950s, her daughter and son-in-law opened the "Cony" shop that showcased and retailed her jewelry and tableware. These pins are an exemplary example of some of her work, created in the 1940s.
