One of the best lapidaries in Taxco’s jewelry history, Felipe Martinez created amazing jewelry in many styles. The classy sterling silver and azur-malachite earrings at hand follow the “mozaico Azteca” line that was introduced by the Los Castillo workshop. Rich, dark blues, understated safe and a breath-taking splash of electric green come together in the stone inlay held securely in the most minimal “gypsy” setting. Simple does not mean simplistic! The earrings measure 3/4” square and weigh 11.6 grams (for the set). They are
fully signed with both maker’s and workshop’s name as well as “STERLING TAXCO” and des. no 231 alongside Eagle 3 assay mark. The set dates in the 1950s-60s and is in very good vintage condition with great colors, nice patina, some very small superficial pops in the inlay here and there and expected tight fissures.
