Sterling Silver Earrings, Margot de Taxco Molds

Gorgeous Mexican silver earrings with lots of personality, very difficult to miss. These pieces of jewelry were handcrafted by Melesio Rodriguez Villalba, one of just a handful of original silversmiths that at one point work with some of the famous Taxco silver designers of the old Taxco era in Mexico. Melesio worked in Margot's workshop for more than 20 years, and now at his almost 90 years of age, he continues making these exquisite pieces. All of these items are handmade from the original molds used in the 1950s or 1960s. Chances are that several of the original vintage pieces sell on the internet nowadays for very high prices on several occasions, were even made by Sr. Melesio many years ago. His artist's registry number of "MR." "TR-114" is widely recognized as one that uses Margot's original molds.

These earrings are sterling silver. They are a classic design by Margot. Gorgeous pieces with very artistic borders and a beautiful contrast between the polished shiny silver and the darker background. You can find Margot's features all over them. Unique and beautiful design, which can only be found in Margot's works.

These earrings also carry the original mold number "5270," and they were made with "950" silver purity, better quality silver than the most common 925.
