VINTAGE TAXCO FISH EARRINGS STERLING SILVER MEXICO MEXICAN MODERNIST 


Here you have a great pair of earrings with a fabulous and  whimsical fish design.  


Intricately detailed, each earrings has seven parts to it.  The head, five bones, and the tail.  The links are fully articulated, which allows the earrings flexibility for movement when worn.


The head of each fish has a recessed eye which is oxidized, as is the mouth, and this really makes for a multi-dimensional look.  These are a wonderful conversation piece.


Measures 1 3/4" long and 9/16" wide.  These earrings are for pierced ears, and include the butterfly backs.


Weight for the pair is 14 grams.


Signed and hallmarked "TM-90", "Mex 925". I've had several pieces bearing these identical marks which were also signed "D'Molina", and I believe these to be from the same artist.  "TM-90" is noted in Bille Hougart's essential reference guide "The Little Book of Mexican Silver Trade and Hallmarks". 


In excellent vintage condition.  



Th










Please note that vintage jewelry has been pre-owned, worn, and loved by it's previous owner. Much of the charm and beauty of vintage Mexican jewelry comes from the unique variations and characteristics inherent in hand-wrought silver. At times you may be able to see the artisan's tool marks - such is the nature of hand-made jewelry. It's not new and perfect, nor should it be.  Vintage silver items may also show age appropriate tarnish. I do not clean the pieces I offer, as collectors and connoisseurs of vintage silver jewelry do not want their valuable pieces stripped of the patina which has taken many years to acquire and is actually quite desirable.  I take numerous photos, many with a macro-lens, to show the fine details of each piece, so please take a close look and consider them as part of the description.  Don't assume anything if it's not in my description. 


Any questions......please ask before you bid.     


I'm always happy to provide additional photos and details, and I respond to all emails very quickly.  Most times within the hour.
