Margot de Taxco Mexican Silver & Enamel Link Bracelet

This lovely Mexican sterling silver enamel link bracelet is a classic Margot de Taxco design, highlighting the creativity and quality of her spectacular midcentury jewelry designs. This particular design features the champleve enamel technique, where enamel is fused into recesses in silver, which she helped perfect.

Margot van Voorhies Carr, known as "Margot de Taxco," was a visionary designer who shaped Mexican jewelry in the mid-twentieth century. On a chance vacation in Mexico, she met Antonio Castillo, who introduced her to Taxco and the jewelry & artistic community. She relocated to the area and married Castillo. Antonio established Los Castillo in 1939 alongside along with his family and Margot, and she became the principal creative force behind their celebrated designs. 

Following her 1948 departure, Margot founded her eponymous studio, where she meticulously designed and documented every piece her company produced. Though a devastating 1960 fire claimed her workshop and curtailed her business, her legacy endures as a testament to her uncompromising artistry and craftsmanship.

Marked on the back with “Margot de Taxco" logo and a circle of "Sterling Made in Mexico" and the eagle hallmark denoting authentic Mexican sterling . Also includes design number 5397A. 

This bracelet  measures approximately 6.5" long  x .5" wide, in very good vintage condition. The enamel is vibrant and without scratches or mars. The sterling on the interior has some natural tarnish from age.
