Margot de Taxco Mexican silver and amethyst floral Brooch
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
