Earrings: Vintage Taxco Brutalism
Earrings: Vintage Taxco Brutalism
Very unique brutalist design earrings from Taxco, Mexico. They are vintage, abstract, and have a raw sterling feel. I love them.
Taxco is historically known for its silver mine, the quality of silver that comes from it, and the extraordinary metalsmiths that hail from there. The work is often heavy, intricate, and has a bold handle. It is, undoubtedly, where I learned to go if you want to feel what it is like to wear sterling silver. Taxco pieces are stunning.
After years of looking, selling, and beginning to source Taxco silver I found a small sect of artisans who create more brutalist designs…which I have a difficult time not putting into my own collection.
These earrings are an example of this style. They feel edgy, a little punk, purposely unrefined. Brass is incorporated into the design and the weight feels just right for an everyday wear. I have not seen anything like these before and that makes me happy.

As per standard, very early vintage is not polished unless requested. Silver will naturally polish the more that it is worn.
