Vtg Taxco Mexico 950 Sterling & Lapis Lazuli Artisan Statement Necklace 136grams

This stunning vintage sterling silver necklace from Taxco, Mexico, showcases exceptional craftsmanship and bold modernist design. The exquisite pendant features a trio of beautifully sculpted calla lilies. The petals curve gracefully around a vibrant, rich blue lapis lazuli gemstone, which serves as the focal point (pistil) of the central bloom. Delicate silver leaves unfurl elegantly from the base, adding a natural, intricate touch to this stunning, nature inspired piece. Expertly made and stamped “TM-17” in two different places, “Mexico” and “950,” this piece exemplifies the artistry of early 1980s Taxco silversmithing- where contemporary lines meet timeless Mexican tradition. The heavy, well-constructed leaf design chain lies beautifully along the neckline, creating an elegant and commanding statement look. Necklace length 16” chain, pendant width 2.5” x 1.5” height, and total weight is 136 grams. Excellent vintage condition with light wear consistent with age. Stones are secure, silver has a beautiful patina, and clasp functions properly. A substantial and collectible example of vintage Taxco artistry- perfect for the jewelry lover who appreciates bold design, fine materials, and impeccable craftsmanship.
