Please read this description carefully. It will contain the information associating this magnificent piece of jewelry with Taxco's Margot de Taxco. It is made from the original Margot's molds,
by a gentleman, senor Melesio Rodriguez Villalba, who worked with
Margot Van Voorhies Carr for 24 years, and now, at his 73 years of age,
he continues making these beautiful pieces. He was responsible for the
execution of many of Margot's designs. His
artist's registry number of "MR." "TR-114" is widely recognized as one
that uses Margot's original molds. This is such a piece!!!
Please feel free to contact me for further information on sr. Villalba, and his place in the overall picture of vintage Taxco jewelry.
This necklace
is sterling silver. I'm sure you've seen this classic Margot's piece.
This one has a nice multi green enamel and little details in black
enamel. It is a
wonderful design, produced by "Margot de Taxco". It was
first introduced in the early 1950's.
In 1954 this design won first place in the national silver fair, celebrated every year in Taxco, Mexico. You can see why. Just take a look at the wonderful detail and complex work, which makes it a unique piece of jewelry.
The necklace is
five eighths of an inch wide at its widest point. It is sixteen inches
long, with an inside circumference of fifteen and a half inches.
This piece carries the most recent sr. Melesio's hallmark. It is also made with a "980" sterling silver purity, better quality silver than the most common "925"
