Estate Sterling Silver Mexican 925 Silver Modernist 1950s 1960s brooch - Taxco, vintage Mexican jewelry, estate silver jewellery 10_k_gold The findings show some lossThis beautiful estate sterling silver modern brooch was made in Taxco, Mexico, likely in the 1960s. It is marked for 925 silver, as being made in Taxco, and with the maker's initials, CP. This modern silver brooch is large and reasonably heavy, weighing 14g. The design has traditional Mexican elements, but is beautifully executed in a modernist style. Measuring just under 2 3 4" tall, and 1 3 4" wide, it reminds me of a bird perched on a shield.
