Offered for you are the very hard to find collectible Margot de Taxco "Jeweled Circles and Squares" earrings, numbered 5603 and crafted in sterling silver with enamel work. The earrings are featured in the book Margot Van Voorhies: The Art of Mexican Enamelwork and typically measure 1.5 by 5/8 inches. These earrings are described as book pieces, meaning they are documented in literature about the designer. Margot Van Voorhies was an American in the mid-twentieth century who went to Taxco, Mexico, and established a jewelry design business best known for exquisite enamel work. This fascinating book relates the pains of her childhood and eventual refuge in Mexico, where she developed an artistic talent into the Margot de Taxco workshop, that employed hundreds of artisans, particularly including women. Her associations with Taxco silversmiths, who were taught by innovator William Spratling, became the springboard for her own development and success. Margot's designs are distinctive, often based on spiral motifs inspired by vines and floral imagery. Glorious colored enamels in brilliant hues and original designs distinguish her work. Today, Margot Van Voorhies is considered one of the most productive silver artists in Taxco of the mid-20th century. Her legacy is featured here also, in the work of four contemporary artists who strive to create equally superior modern silver jewelry in Taxco. Condition: Pre-owned - Good.
