Elegant and romantic, this vintage Mexican silver and amethyst brooch bears the signature of Margot de Taxco, one of the few female designers of Mexico’s 20th c Silver Renaissance known to us today.

I love the soft curve of the floral stem and the way the amethyst bud rests serenely on the pierced leaf...

Thomas excelled in it, however, and her pieces are sought after by knowledgeable collectors...
