Stunning Los Castillo "doorknocker" dangle earrings, these beauties are breath-taking and beguilingly curvaceous. I love this design and it has been a long time since I had a similar set. Sensual curves, sculptural teardrops, discrete little scrolls and confident, masterful repoussage - there is nothing about the pair that was not paid attention to. Even the concave round elements that hide the screw-back at the earrings' top have been enhanced with oxidation. Measuring 2 1/4" long by 1 1/8" wide the earrings weigh 19.4 grams (for the set)and fully signed with workshop's name (sorry - only partially shown in my photo but it's all there) as well as "TAXCO", "MADE IN MEXICO STERLING", des no 887 (I think?) and Eagle 15 assay mark. The set dates in the 1950s-60s and is in
excellent vintage condition with strong visual presence, great patina and no damage or repairs noted.
