A wonderful geometric bracelet and necklace by Margot van Voorheis Carr, better known as Margot de Taxco. This is an original edition, not a later copy, and both pieces bear the design number 5112, making it one of her earliest designs (Morrill and Berk, in Mexican Silver , state that Margot's design numbers began with 5100 and continued through 5790). The full stamp on both pieces reads "Margot de Taxco, Hecho en Mexico 925, 5112" and an Eagle 16 mark. I find no damage on either piece, and I have not polished them - just washed them in a mild detergent. The bracelet is 6.75" long (inside circumference) and 1" wide, and weighs 54.8grams. The necklace is 15" long, 1/2" wide, and weighs 56.8 grams. The latches on both pieces close tightly, and the bracelet has an appropriate safety chain. 111.6 grams total. Margot Van Voorhies was born in 1896 in San Francisco, California. By the time she left her native country for good, she had survived the death of her father in 1903, the San Francisco Earthquake in 1906, the loss of her mother at the hands of a brutal murderer in 1931 and the end of her first marriage in 1936. Fortunately, a Mexican vacation changed the life of Margot Van Voorhies in ways she could never have imagined. In 1937, forty-one-year-old divorcée Margot Van Voorhies left San Francisco on a trip to Mexico City. Fate threw her into the path of Don Antonio Castillo, who took her to Taxco, a Mexican hotbed for the design, crafting, and production of silver obj
