{"title":"Margot de Taxco","description":"\u003cp\u003eMargot de Taxco (1910–1985), born Margot Van Voorhies Carr, was an American-born jewelry designer who became one of the most important figures in Mexican silver design during the mid-20th century. She is best known for her colorful enamel and sterling silver jewelry produced in Taxco, Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMargot moved to Taxco in the 1930s, where she began working with the renowned silversmith William Spratling, a key figure in revitalizing Taxco’s silver industry. While working in his workshop, she helped develop many early designs and gained valuable experience in both craftsmanship and production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1948, she established her own workshop, Margot de Taxco, where she created jewelry distinguished by its bold use of enamel in vibrant colors, often combined with sterling silver. Her designs frequently featured floral, scroll, and geometric motifs, blending Mexican artistic traditions with mid-century modern influences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMargot’s work quickly gained international recognition, and her pieces were widely exported to the United States. Her jewelry is typically marked with her name and a design number, making it highly collectible and identifiable today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe continued producing jewelry through the 1950s and 1960s, helping to establish Taxco as a global center for artistic silver jewelry. Margot de Taxco died in 1985, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most influential designers of Mexican silver.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"superb-margot-de-taxco-sterling-enamel-greek-revival-earrings-5791-circa-1940s","title":"Superb Margot De Taxco Sterling Enamel Greek Revival Earrings #5791 Circa 1940s","description":"\u003ch1 style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003eSuperb Margot De Taxco Sterling Enamel Greek Key Earrings #5791 Circa 1940s\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurements:  1.25\"L x .5\"W (3.18cm x 1.27cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMarkings: Margot De Taxco 5791 Eagle 16 Hecho En México\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 10.8g\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFantastic pair of Margot Van Voorhies aka Margot De Taxco mid century screw back earrings.
