Adorable Taxco Fish Skeleton Silver Earrings

Absolutely adorable fish skeleton earrings. Could not be more charming if they tried. The earrings are composed of three sterling silver segments, head, body and tail, articulated to give them a lively wiggle. Rounded edges give these bones a cute, cartoonish look. That spinal column is just everything. Finished with sterling French ear wires. Marked on the back "Mexico," "TO-02" and "925." Circa 1960.

The city of Taxco is an important center for Mexican silver jewelry design. During the 1940s Taxco drew jewelry artists from all over the world. The main attraction for the designers and studio jewelers was the abundant locally mined supply of materials, silver and semi precious gems. The "TO-02" mark indicates this piece was made in Taxco by the second silversmith to register their mark at the Taxco assay office with a name beginning with "O."

Details.....The earrings measure 2.3" long and 0.6" wide. In Very Good Vintage Condition. You should expect some wear on all vintage and antique jewels, we consider it part of their charm.
