Gorgeous wearable art by renowned jewelry designer Margot de Taxco. Elegant and fun all at once, these earrings are sterling silver peonies with champlevé white enamel and gold "confetti" flecks throughout. There's a lot of detail to the flowers including dimensional petals and center stamens made of tiny silver dollops. Both pieces marked 925, Hecho En Mexico, Eagle 16 (Margot's personal Eagle Assay stamp). Each measure 1.5"L x 1"W. Very good condition with patina and minor wear from age and use. No enamel loss.
