Lot 453: Mexican Sterling Silver Amethyst Clip Earrings VTG

Description

Description:

A pair of Mexican sterling silver clip earrings, each set with a round cabochon-cut amethyst at the center of a circular medallion design. The silverwork combines a twisted rope border with a ring of small applied silver beads, a decorative technique long associated with Mexican silver jewelry, particularly the Taxco silversmithing tradition that flourished through the 20th century. The reverse of each earring is stamped "925," confirming sterling silver content, along with additional maker's marks that are only partially legible in the photos. Fitted with clip backs rather than pierced posts. A classic example of mid-century Mexican silver jewelry, appealing to collectors of Taxco and Mexican silver designs.

Condition Report:

Good vintage condition, wear commensurate with age. The silver shows expected tarnishing and patina consistent with age. No visible damage to the amethyst cabochons. Clip mechanisms appear intact and functional.
