Description

View Vintage Mexico Sterling Silver Grape Cluster Brooch Pendant & Earrings set 54.6g with current marketplace pricing, condition, product images and item details. (1.63 troy oz of pure silver content). Up for sale is a stunning, highly substantial 3-piece vintage matching jewelry demi-parure handcrafted by a master silversmith in Taxco, Mexico. This collector's set features a beautifully dimensional, sculptural modernist grape cluster and vine leaf design. The large focal piece is uniquely versatile: it features a secure rollover safety pin clasp to wear as a brooch, as well as a generous built-in bale at the top, allowing it to easily slip onto a silver chain to be worn as a statement necklace pendant. It comes complete with its two matching clip-on grape cluster earrings. Item Specifications & Hallmarks: - Material: Solid .925 Sterling Silver - Hallmarks: Explicitly stamped "TF-74 / MEXICO / 925" on the reverse of the brooch/pendant. - Hallmark Meaning: The "TF-74" registration code indicates the piece was made in Taxco ("T") by an artisan whose last name begins with "F", and who was the 74th silversmith to register under that letter after 1979. - Total Combined Weight: 54.6 Grams (Extremely heavy, solid quality feel; contains approx. 1.63 troy oz of pure silver content). - Era: Vintage (Post-1979 Taxco Silverware) Condition Report: This set is in very good vintage condition. Structurally, it is excellent—the rollover pin mechanism functions perfectly, the pendant bale is solid, and the delicate accent wire vine tendrils are fully intact with no breaks. The three-dimensional grape spheres are smooth without heavy dents. The silver retains a beautiful, untouched natural aged patina in the deep crevices, which highlights its sculptural depth. As is common with authentic vintage Mexican silver of this era, there is minor superficial micro-scratching on the back plate and a small amount of light, cleanable verdigris (green aging) on the front stem joints. Please review all photos closely as they form part of the description. Condition: Pre-owned - Good. Category: Jewelry & Watches › Vintage & Antique Jewelry › Jewelry Sets.
