This elegant and timeless design was originally created in the Taller Borda Studio of Taxco under the direction of Hector Aguilar. The design is pictured in the book "Silver Masters of Mexico" by Penny Morrill on page 136. This vintage set of necklace, bracelet and earrings was created by the artist M.Martinez of Taxco. It was created prior to 1948 when the Eagle marking system went into effect in Mexico for silver jewelry. The set has the added versatility of allowing the chocker necklace and bracelet to be combined seamlessly for one long continuous necklace. The earrings also have french clips which are extremely unusual in Mexican silver jewelry. This set is a classic and destined to be a staple in your jewelry wardrobe that you will enjoy for years to come.
