Early and rare sterling pectoral niello necklace and coordinating bracelet from legendary designer Margot de Taxco. Stylistically akin to her first design, the Figure Eight set (5100), this unusual heart-motif parure probably dates to the late 1940s, given the low inventory number (5195 on the necklace, 5195a on the bracelet) and lack of an eagle assay mark on either piece. The bracelet also has an intact barrel clasp, another sign of early Taxco work.
The necklace consists of a large (3Ό ...click for details

Nice silver-on-copper creamer and sugar set with all-copper tray from Ana Maria Nuρez de Brilanti. Brilanti (aka Victoria), a master of mixed metals (metales casados), was active in Taxco from 1940 to 1978. This set probably dates to 1948 1958, since it is not marked for Cony.

Lovely and intricate sterling silver link bracelet with amethysts from the desirable Taxco artisan BETO. Signed BETO 925 Taxco GRO 925.

The bracelet has a wearable length of 7. It weighs 20 grams. CONDITION: Very good to excellent estate condition.
