Margot von Voorhies Carr, commonly referred to as Margot de Taxco, is a designer known for her high quality sterling silver jewelry. The American-born Margot left San Francisco for Mexico City in 1937. It was there she met and befriended Antonio Castillo with whom she traveled to Taxco; the Mexican city known for its design, crafting, and production of silver jewelry, flatware, and objects. Castillo would later become her second husband . Eventually she established her own tallier in 1948 and is known for her fantastic enameled pieces. She is an important part of the Taxco jewelry movement. Margot's work was heavily influenced by Japanese art, Pre-Columbian pieces, Mexican design as well as the Art Deco movement.
