Hallmarked Victoria for Anna Marie Nunez are these very early pre-1948 design #2 earrings. The triangle swings with motion making them quite attention getters at 1.5inches long and .75in. wide. They are thick silver weighing 15 grams in beautiful condition. The sterling hand made balls are solid and show evidence of that with a few microscopic air bubbles as a result from the making. These are buttery soft silver as Victoria used almost pure silver...

Matilde Poulat and Salas Mexican necklaces are getting so very rare and especially the gorgeous pieces like this one. It is hallmarked as shown with Matl Salas MS-12. This hallmark dates this from 1978 and after. I am limited by the system on the dating of this listing. The repousse is masterfully done and the carving has great depth. The chains are really very special to this piece with the outside chain having a bit more slack to hang in such a lovely manner...

One of Margot's most famous designs the "Swans" comes in two forms - the one a little more stylized / minimalist than the other but both a dream to wear and behold. Just take a look at the sculpturality of the flawless repoussage in this pair; the elegant way the birds lower their head toward their chests; the profusion of detail in the feathers; and the way the patina accentuates the three-dimensional effect of the design. The earrings measure 1 3/8" tall by 7/8" wide (at their widest)...

This is a super rare pair of Margot de Taxco earrings numbered design 5104. The shell motif has rings that move freely and are pierced through the open backed thick repousse. This is Margot's 4th design after opening her own Taller. The open back repousse was a technique that was used mostly in the earliest time frame of the Spratling Era and I would place these very close to 1950. These jewels weigh 20 grams and are quite large with a stunning presence at 1.5 inches tall/long and 1in...
