A remarkable vintage Mexican sterling silver necklace and matching earring set by celebrated designer Margot de Taxco. This elegant set is identified as design #5213, known among collectors as the "Hearts" pattern, one of Margot's early and enduringly popular designs.
Expertly crafted in sterling silver, the necklace features ten beautifully detailed openwork heart-form links, each centered with luminous sapphire-blue glass cabochons. The richly colored cabochons create a striking contrast against the sculptural silverwork and display a vibrant glow that recalls fine blue gemstones. The matching screwback earrings complete the set, creating a sophisticated demi-parure that remains both highly wearable and highly collectible.
This set is hallmarked with the Margot de Taxco signature, design number 5213, Sterling, Made in Mexico, and Eagle 16, confirming its authenticity and place within the classic period of Taxco silver production. Design #5213 is documented in the Margot literature and is recognized by collectors as one of her notable early patterns.
The necklace exhibits exceptional craftsmanship, with flowing curves, intricate openwork, and dimensional details characteristic of Margot's distinctive design aesthetic. The matching earrings have remained with the necklace, an increasingly uncommon occurrence as many vintage sets have been separated over the decades.
Whether acquired as a collector's piece of important Mexican silver, a statement accessory, or an investment-quality addition to a vintage jewelry collection, this extraordinary set represents the artistry and innovation that made Margot de Taxco one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century Mexican jewelry design.
