Description:
A vintage Margot De Taxco brooch that is Sterling Silver with blue and black enamel in a lover's knot design that was made by Miguel Arias. See NOTE below about Margo De Taxco and Miguel Arias. The outer portion of the knot is a blue enamel. The inner edges are lined with a thin line of opaque black enamel. The black enamel has silver edges that show on both sides of the black. There is a small dot pattern under the translucent blue enamel.
The pin on the back is a safety clasp closure. It opens as intended and closes securely.
NOTE:
Margo De Taxco opened her own workshop in 1948 in Taxco, Mexico after divorcing her husband and co-silversmith, of ten years. Her unique designs were influenced by Art Deco, Mayan, and Japanese works. She began working with silver designs, and later added enamel to them. Her works gained popularity in the 50s and 60s, and suffered some tragic business losses from a fire and was unable to keep her business afloat. She died in 1974 but her works live on and are quite collectible. The designer Miquel Arias made this brooch and others that were similar. He was one of the master silversmiths who worked for Margo de Taxco. His silver works are quite collectible as are Margo de Taxco’s.
