Masterfully executed repousse necklace and earrings set, wrought in 980 silver, this is an great example of the quality and craftsmanship that came out of early Taxco.

They overlap perfectly and curve to hug the neck while positioning themselves in the best possible way to showcase their maker's mastery over his craft...
