luxurious Mexican silver long tasseled Lariat Necklace

Long lariat necklace with their luxurious tassels and their thick twist-rope chains were a beloved form for the Mexican maestros. One can find examples from the Deco years well into the post-1980 period. The example at hand dates from the latter yet is signed by a Taxco silversmith who was active - and making lariats - in the previous period as well (1948-1980). Of medium thickness the woven chain glistens and can be worn in every imaginable way. The tassels add just the right amount of playfulness and luxury. Silver perfection…
