Vintage Margot de Taxco sterling silver astrological pendant necklace, this one is for the Leo in your life and like all Margot's zodiac jewelry, sculptural and heavy. I have paired the pendant with a substantial, hand-wrought Mexican chain of the same period and the two look like they always belonged together. The pendant has a diameter of 1 9/18" (not including the bail) and adds a 2" drop to the chain which is itself 30" long (easily adjustable due to the hook clasp). The chain only weighs a whopping 30.2 grams while the pendant is 20.2 grams bringing the set up to 50.3 grams. Fully signed with Margot's signature, des. no 5227 and Eagle assay mark (16 but the number is very faint here) on the pendant; the chain is marked "STERLING MEXICO" and also has an Eagle mark that is only partially there. Dating in the 1950s-60s and in excellent vintage condition, hefty and having gorgeous patina.
