Taxco silver is highly collectible and in great demand, showcasing outstanding craftsmanship in every piece. Taxco is a small town nestled between Acapulco and Mexico City, famous for its rich mining history. In the late 1920s, a highway was finally built to Taxco, allowing William Spratling, an American, to discover the town and assess the potential of its artisan community. He brought in influential metalsmiths to mentor young artists, and gradually the world began to notice the high-quality craftsmanship of their jewelry.
The earrings are in excellent vintage condition with only minor signs of wear. The silver surface has a few fine lines and marks, but they are barely noticeable. It features a light patina that can be polished upon request. The back is stamped 'MEXICO', 'TC-108', and '925'.
The earrings measure 2" long and 5/8" wide and weigh 3.41 grams. The box is for display only.
