Elegant and romantic, this vintage Mexican silver and amethyst brooch bears the signature of Margot de Taxco, one of the few female designers of Mexico’s 20th c Silver Renaissance known to us today. Reflective of the 1940s trend towards jewelry inspired by nature, the brooch looks delicate and tender yet its silver-work is confident, substantial and perfectly finished. I love the soft curve of the floral stem and the way the amethyst bud rests serenely on the pierced leaf…
Size / Weight: 3” tall by 1 5/8” wide; 18.2 grams
Hallmarks / Date: partially stamped maker’s signature and des. no as shown as well as, again partially stamped, “STERLING HECHO EN MEXICO”; the Eagle mark is missing but this is a 1950s-60s piece
Condition: excellent vintage, featuring a classically elegant design, with the quality of workmanship and impeccable finishing all Margot jewelry is known for, great patina and no damage note
