Mid-Century Modernist / Pre-Eagle Era (c. 1940-1945). Up for sale is a beautiful pair of authentic, mid-century Mexican modernist dangle earrings. These stunning earrings feature a geometric rhombus (diamond) shape framed in heavy sterling silver and inlaid with a highly detailed, colorful mineral mosaic matrix. The natural crushed stone layout showcases vibrant blues and greens reminiscent of turquoise, azurite, and malachite split by stylized silver geometric framing. They are equipped with comfortable, functional vintage screw-back mechanisms for non-pierced ears. Maker and Era Information: The reverse side of the earrings features a clear, stamped circular hallmark reading "MADE IN MEXICO 925" surrounding the stylized monogram initials "JBD" . This specific registry mark indicates production by the prominent JBD design workshop operating out of Mexico City (Distrito Federal) during the early 1940s. Famous for their "Mosaica Azteca" styling, this workshop combined clean mid-century modernist lines with traditional tribal art influences. Because this pair lacks the official numerical "Eagle" assay stamp introduced in 1948, it can be reliably dated to the highly collectible "Pre-Eagle" era between 1940 and 1945.
