Silver jewelry has always been an all-time favorite of mine, and when my mother gave me my grandmother’s jewelry from Taxco, I started a collection of my own.
Taxco is a city in Mexico that is known for its silver jewelry and silver designers.
The clamper bracelet in the photo above is a favorite and is comfortable to wear, and the second bracelet is from an antique show I attended years ago in McAllen.
Daughter #3 ‘borrows’ this bracelet frequently.
Along with several pairs of screw back earrings, these bracelets belonged to my grandmother. I have worn the black onyx bracelet the most, but I love them all- especially the blue set which goes with this.
Over the years I have had other silver favorites- too many to count. (understatement…)
I am linking this morning to Silver Sunday.
Oh my, what gorgeous pieces. I love them all. So pretty. Hugs, Marty

ReplyDeleteThose pieces are just gorgeous, Laura!
ReplyDeleteYou still live in McAllen, right?
Did I ever tell you that my husband taught at Rowe High School there for many years? We lived in La Feria a couple of years ago, wish I'd known there was a kindred spirit down by the border while I was there. :-)

I admit that I am drooling over your collection. I love this jewelry and have bid on a couple of pieces on ebay. How wonderful that it was passed down through your family.
ReplyDeleteWhat a magnificent collection! I am in awe...good thing I don't live in your house I would be borrowing them too.

I have a love of silver jewelery too. I don't have anything too valuable but I do have pieces that have stories and sentiment. Love your collection!

ReplyDeleteI have a weakness for silver, too! Yours, especially the onyx bracelet, is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLaura, Taxco silver is always beautifully elegant. My mother had a few pieces. You are lucky to have these from your grandmother. It's so special to have family pieces that you can enjoy and pass along to your daughters someday. Thank you for sharing these.

Really gorgeous pieces! How wonderful to be able to have jewelry from your Grandmother. I have heard of Taxco silver but don't know a lot about it.
