Taxco Silver, Chiapas Yellow Amber Cabochon Clip Earrings, Marked
About the Item
Pair of Chiapas yellow amber cabochon inlayed Taxco silver earrings with silver ball halo detail. 925 Mexican silver. One earring is marked “MEX TT-47 MEX” The second is marked “MEX TT-47 925”.
The first letter, T, is the city letter for Taxco. The second letter refers to the makers last name. The number after the dash means that this maker is the 47th silversmith to use the initial T for their last name. This numbering system began in 1979 and has continued to the present.
Chiapas amber comes from the mines in Chiapas Mexico. It is a younger amber but one of its most noted characteristics is that it is a harder amber and is easier to work with. It also shows characteristic black inclusions.
This is one of the most beautiful pairs of earrings of this type that I have found. It is handmade by a silversmith, so naturally it will be slightly imperfect. That being said, this is one of the more detailed pairs that I have seen. The silver has a high-polished finish but the inner parts if the halo have been intentionally oxidation applied in order to accentuate the halo’s lovely formed silver ball circle. There are notable scratches on the back of this vintage pair but the front is still quite stunning.
Care Recommendation: To keep your Mexican silver from tarnishing, clean and store carefully. Use a polishing cloth. (Don’t use silver cleaning solutions on it; it may damage the amber.) Store it in a sealed plastic bag to prevent air or moisture damage. Please keep away from extreme temperatures, moisture, perfumes, natural skin oils, and harsh chemicals (Source: Home and Away Gallery Website)
