Gallery Note:

This vintage Taxco bracelet and ring set brings together bold mid-century silverwork with a sculptural botanical fern motif. The bracelet has a strong hinged clamper form, with overlapping terminals and high-relief frond detailing that gives the piece movement, dimension, and a confident wrist presence.

The coordinating ring echoes the same fern-inspired silver vocabulary while remaining a complementary companion rather than an exact match. Its open-front construction offers slight flexibility, making the set feel collected and organic rather than factory-paired.

The brighter sterling finish highlights the raised botanical contours and curled silverwork, giving the set a polished, wearable presence while preserving the character expected of fine vintage Taxco silver.

Hallmark & Maker Notes:

The interior of the bracelet bears a partially faded circular Taxco maker’s mark. The outer ring appears to read STERLING 925 / TAXCO MEX, with overlapping central initials that may read LGP or LGPP. Research points to P. Lopez G. as a possible lead among documented Taxco silversmiths, but the stamp is not clear enough to confirm a named maker at this time.

The coordinating ring also bears a partially struck hallmark consistent with mid-century Taxco marking conventions. The stamp appears to have been partially cut off during production, leaving too little identifying detail to research or attribute the ring to a specific silversmith with confidence at this time.

Together, the marks, sterling content, hinged clamper construction, open-front ring form, and sculptural repoussé work support a mid-century Taxco attribution, circa 1950s. The maker remains under active research.
