The city of Taxco is an important center for Mexican silver jewelry design. During World War II, Taxco drew jewelry artists from all over the world. The main attraction for designers and studio jewelers was the abundant supply of locally mined materials, like silver and semi-precious gems. Incredible silver jewelry is produced there to this day.

Details.....The earrings measure 2.05" long and 1.66" wide. In Very Good Vintage Condition. You should always expect some wear on vintage and antique jewels; we consider it part of the charm.
