This is an increasingly rare original Margot Van Voorhies Carr Taxco, Mexico sterling silver earrings from the circa 1950’s. The Margot De Taxco Sterling silver piece shows the iconic sterling silver and enameled articulated snake design in the ever so desirable stylings and hand crafted high-quality known by this renowned silversmith. Margot Van Voorhies Carr is considered by most to be the absolute premier silversmith to emerge from the incredibly high-quality Taxco region. These are the exact match to the necklace sold in the previous lot. The piece originates from the 1940's or 1950’s and shows very good condition overall.
