These alluring and stunning sterling silver snake earrings were crafted with the original old Taxco molds from Margot's. Amazing Taxco Sterling Silver pieces which shows a depiction of a snake's head in a creative detail with a great craftsmanship.


Please read this description carefully. It will contain information associating this magnificent piece of jewelry with Margot de Taxco. It was made from the original molds, by a talented gentleman, señor Melesio Rodriguez Villalba, who worked with Margot Van Voorhies Carr for 24 years and now, at his 74 years of age, he continues making these beautiful pueces. 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.

These earrings are sterling silver. I'm sure you've seen these classic Margot's pieces before.  These ones have a dark multi blue enamel color and black enamel on the details.  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 them unique pieces of jewelry.


The ethnic elements shown on these pieces are so charming, there are so many adjectives that can describe her designs and I will always remember people of them, her designer creativity was unlimited and only these words can tell you enough... artistic, trendy, unique, exotic, that's why she's one of my favorite designers from the golden era in the Mexican silver jewelry.

These pierced earrings are not marked, cause they are sold by a set and the matching necklace and bracelet carry all the markings. I would like to comment on Melesio Villarreal, whose name is shown in the markings. He is Melesio's grandson, he's been working with his grandfather for years now and he's following the same steps by creating these amazing pieces and helping his grandfather to carry the tradition around for new generations and insuring the survival of this old Taxco art. His jewelry is made with the same excellent quality than the ones marked  by Melesio Rodriguez V.

These pieces were handmade with 980 sterling silver purity, better quality silver than the most common 925.

The silver enamel snake, pierced earrings are seven eighths of an inch wide, at their widest point and two and a quarter inch long.
