VTG Taxco Sterling Silver Marquise Dome Ring Size 6 TM-156 Rope Accent 8.04g

This vintage Taxco sterling silver ring is a sculptural statement piece, marked 925 Mexico TM-156, indicating its origin from one of Taxco’s registered artisan workshops. The front features a large marquise-shaped dome with a flat back, measuring approximately 29.7mm × 13.5mm, and accented by a twisted brass rope detail that runs down the center—adding warmth and contrast to the cool silver. The ring weighs 8.04 grams, with a band width of 4.2mm, and is sized at 6. The band is a simple flat round design, allowing the dramatic dome to take center stage. The silver shows light tarnish, and there is a small dent on the side of the dome, visible in photos but not detracting from the overall beauty or wearability of the piece. This ring is a perfect example of Taxco’s modernist silver movement, blending bold geometry with mixed-metal accents. It’s ideal for collectors, stylists, or anyone drawn to Mexican artisan jewelry with architectural flair. Taxco, Mexico has been a hub for silver artistry since the 1930s, when William Spratling revitalized the town’s silversmithing tradition. The TM registry system, introduced in 1979, assigns each artisan or workshop a unique identifier—TM-156 in this case—used to track origin and authenticity. The use of brass accents is a hallmark of mid-to-late 20th century Taxco design, adding visual contrast and warmth to sterling silver pieces.
