1940s ARTISANAL MEXICAN SILVER BIRDCAGE PARURE

About the Item

This incredible birdcage parure (earrings and pendant/brooch set) was made in Mexico in the 1940s by hand, by a talented Mexican silversmith. It is very much reminiscent of the iconic statement jewelry favored by Frida Khalo, as she is often depicted wearing in her self-portraits. It features birdcages wrought by hand, with an actual hinged door that swings open— something could be placed inside each piece. (Please refer to the videos shared among the product images to see it in motion.) The earrings sit on sterling silver hoops (these are not original to the piece) and the pendant could be worn interchangeably, either on a chain as a necklace, or on the original brooch as intended. The elements are all hand-wrought sterling silver. A sterling silver chain can be added with this product if you need one. Please message me if you would like a chain as it is not included. **The Vintage Victorian Style Maxidress pictured is also available. Great vintage condition, with a natural patina, which can also be polished if desired. With any questions about the specific condition or size, please send a message for additional photos or measurements, as all sales are final. *IF YOU REQUIRE EXPRESS SHIPPING (domestic or international), please contact me for my best quote! Same-day or next-day delivery (or pickup) is in most cases available in the NYC area. @VERYBREEZY — Follow along on Instagram for exclusive access to new vintage arrivals
