Margot de Taxco was a "Real" designer who brought her own style,done in her own way,which gave her jewelry it's own identity to where you never had to 2nd guess as to whose jewelry it was..Having moved from the US to Taxco during the height of the jewelry boom that put Mexico on the map for THE place to buy jewelry, that had Mexico written all over it. Margot not only designed sterling with stone,but her work was also done in enamel & designed them sometimes with cultural themes that took you around the world, helping you to experience a place & time..Like her re-creations of Asian & Egyptian inspired enamel pieces that were very dimensional..

These are in perfect vintage condition,with no enamel chipped & were very well kept.If you weren't experienced in Margot's enameling work,one may think these were black onyx & sterling.

These are made in a screw back style which validates their age & on the actual screw back, it has the earlier of the 2 eagle stamps that were used, & this was the 1st eagle stamp that was used from '48-'55 (The 2nd was used from '55-'79).It has her registered #16 inside the hallmark.

***If you do not wear screw backs,I can easily have my jeweler convert these to posts (or clip) without hurting the enamel or losing the patina for $40.He is a "Laser" jeweler so he does not use heat in order to convert.His turn around time is generally within a day to a week depending on how back up he is. I do want to mention however,that I run a store here in Santa Fe,so I would have to run them over there when I have time & it may not be immediate..
