Authentic Silver Jewelry

Margot de Taxco Jewelry

Margot van Voorhies Carr arrived in Taxco from America in 1937. Here she met, and not long thereafter, got married to Antonio Castillo. She became the very first designer of the Los Castillo, newly formed at the time and it is thus hardly surprising that many of the Los Castillo firm’s earlier pieces bear Margot’s distinctive look.

In 1948, her marriage with Antonio Castillo came to an end and in the same year she started out with a venture of her own, setting up a workshop and store, and hiring a number of talented silversmiths to execute her designs. Our team included Hilario Lopez, Miguel Arias, Melicio Rodriguez, Jaime Quiroz and Miguel Melendez.

Margot is best known for her works that combine silver and enamel. However, all her work showcased excellent quality – beautifully merging her fascination for pre-Columbian art, and folk art with a passion for Japanese block prints and nature. Her work has an ever-present sense of form and motion, whether in silver, enamel or copper.

Margot de Taxco has designed and made some of the best executed examples of champlevé in the world (an enamelling technique in which cells or cavities are carved into the surface of a metal object and filled with enamel). Margot van Voorhies Carr actively produced jewelry until her death in 1974 and remains one of the best known designers of Taxco Jewelry.

    Hello, I HAVE this necklace, the one which is shown in your photo. But your photo seems to be a bracelet (?) I inherited this necklace from my g’mother who made a tour through Mexico in the 30′s. I’ve always loved it’s art deco design, and now through your site, I know who made it. I would love to have matching (or coordinating) bracelet. Do you know of any for sale?
