Los Castillo Mexican silver "dooknocker" Dangle Earrings
Stunning Los Castillo "doorknocker" dangle earrings, these beauties are breath-taking and beguilingly curvaceous. I love this design and it has been a long time since I had a similar set. Sensual curves, sculptural teardrops, discrete little scrolls and confident, masterful repoussage - there is nothing about the pair that was not paid attention to. Even the concave round elements that hide the screw-back at the earrings' top have been enhanced with oxidation. Dare to stand out...
Size / Weight: 2 1/4" long by 1 1/8" wide; 19.4 grams (for the set)
Hallmarks / Date: fully signed with workshop's name (sorry - only partially shown in my photo but it's all there) as well as "TAXCO", "MADE IN MEXICO STERLING", des no 887 (I think?) and Eagle 15 assay mark; 1950s-60s
Condition: excellent vintage with strong visual presence, great patina and no damage or repairs noted
Inv# 15825
