#MM149 - Huge 900 Silver Taxco Brooch
A striking 900 silver and amethyst brooch, purchased, according to the original owner, in Taxco in the 1950’s. This beauty measures a very showy 2 ¾” x 1 ¾” and is done in the form of a vine with dripping flowers and genuine amethyst gems that are bezel mounted with closed backs. The design is lovely, but alas, no maker’s mark, just “Sterling, Mexico” and “900” for silver content – a hair below 925 sterling. Fitted with a secure safety clasp and extended pinback, in excellent condition with the only fault a tiny split to the silver on the side of the bezel of one of the teardrop stones – does not affect the look or the wear, the stone is secure in it’s setting, but mentioned for accuracy.
