Presented in this lot is a pair of vintage Sterling Silver Teardrop Dangle Earrings from Mexico, marked .925 on reverse. These iconic sterling silver earrings with wire backs for pierced ears put a classic twist on the beloved dangle drop earring, the exaggerated tear drop shape creates a sophisticated silhouette. Beginning in the 1930s, silver workshops clustered in the mining town of Taxco spearheaded a revival in this traditional craft in Mexico. At the same time, the artists and artisans working there took a new direction in design that mixed age-old motifs from native cultures with 20th century Modernism. The objects and jewelry they produced have become extremely popular with discerning collectors. Each piece provides a hands-on aesthetic appeal when used or worn. In other words, this silver makes daily life a little more beautiful. These Teardrop Dangle Earrings are in very nice condition, rich patina consistent throughout. No obvious marring noted, each measures 1"W at the base x 2.25"L
