Featuring the iconic TP-121 hallmark, these earrings represent the sophisticated "New Taxco" wave of the late 20th century, where traditional Mexican silversmithing met sleek, mid-century architectural forms. With their high-polish finish and deep black onyx centers, these are the ultimate "power earrings" for the modern collector. Condition & Artisan Detail These earrings are in wonderful vintage condition , offering a clean, mirror-like aesthetic that radiates luxury. Lustrous Mirror Finish: Unlike many oxidized vintage pieces, these feature a lustrous, glossy silver finish that highlights their smooth, rounded modernist curves. Deep Black Onyx: Each earring is set with a perfectly polished, circular black onyx cabochon. The stones are secure and provide a sharp, elegant contrast to the bright sterling silver. Structural Integrity: The clip-on mechanisms are firm and secure, providing a comfortable fit for both pierced and non-pierced ears. Significant Heft: At 17.5 grams total , these earrings have the substantial "weight of quality" expected from solid Taxco sterling, yet they are balanced to sit perfectly on the earlobe without pulling. Design & Presence Modernist Silhouette: The design features a wide, slightly domed silver border that frames the onyx, creating a bold, "target" or "bullseye" motif that was a staple of high-end 1970s and 80s Mexican design. Impressive Scale: Measuring just over 1 inch in diameter , these have a fantastic visual presence that transitions effortlessly from a professional boardroom setting to a formal evening event. Versatility: As clip-ons, these can be worn by anyone and are often preferred for larger, heavier styles to ensure they sit upright and centered on the ear. Why Collect Taxco TP-121 Silver? The "letter-number" registration system was introduced in Taxco in the late 1970s to track and protect the designs of specific artisans. The TP-121 mark is associated with high-quality, export-grade silver that favored heavy-gauge construction and clean, geometric lines. These earrings are a quintessential example of that era's "Modernist" movement in Mexico. Shipping Your Taxco onyx earrings will be securely packaged and shipped promptly.
