MARGO OF TAXCO DESIGN ENAMELED SILVER SNAKE NECKLACE, BRACELET & EARRINGS SET

Description

THE BEAUTIFUL SOFT MOSSY GREEN SET WAS CREATED FROM THE ORIGINAL DESIGN MOLDS OF MARGOT VAN VOORHIES CARR BY SILVERSMITH/DESIGNER JAIME QUIROZ.  HE WORKED FOR MARGOT OF TAXCO FOR MANY YEARS AND RECEIVED MOLDS IN LIEU OF MONEY OWED TO HIM. SHE WAS FORCED TO CLOSE HER WORKSHOP FOR NON-PAYMENT OF TAXES IN 1974.
THE COPIES CREATED BY JAIME QUIROZ ARE AMONG SOME OF THE BEST.  THE NECKLACE, BRACELET AND EARRINGS SET WAS PURCHASED IN THE EARLY 1980'S. THE  PIECES ARE HALLMARKED "ALBA, MEXICO, 925 AND TQ-06 (THE REGISTRATION CODE).
THE INNER MEASUREMENT OF THE HIGNED NECKLACE IS 17" IN LENGTH WITH A BOX CLASP CLOSURE. A SILVER EXTENSION OF 3 INCHES LONG AND 1/2 INCH WIDE WAS CREATED TO INCREASE THE LENGTH TO 20 INCHES. THE INNER CIRCUMFERENCE OF THE HINGED BRACELET IS 7 1/2 INCHES WITH A BOX CLASP CLOSURE AND A SAFETY CHAIN. THE EARRINGS ARE SCREW-BACK THAT CAN BE CONVERTED BY A JEWELER TO POSTS ARE SCREW/CLIP ONS.
THE ENAMELED MEXICAN SILVER IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. THERE ARE VERY FEW MISSING FLECKS OF ENAMEL - QUITE AMAZING FOR THE AGE OF THE PIECES. PHOTOGRAPHY IS NOT A SKILL OF MINE BUT I DO KNOW HOW TO TEXT PICTURES. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, PLEASE CONTACT ME.  I CAN TEXT CLOSEUPS OF AREA OF WEAR.
