Margot de Taxco Silver Shell Brooch
Our Vintage Margot de Taxco Silver Shell Brooch captures the sculptural modernism that made mid-century Taxco silver internationally collectible. Made by hand in Taxco, Mexico, the stylized scallop shell transforms an organic coastal motif into something precise, architectural, and quietly dramatic.
Formed in solid sterling silver, sculpted flutes radiate across the shell and meet two mirrored spiral details at the base. Polished highlights contrast with darkened recesses, giving every curve depth, rhythm, and an almost liquid glow.
At a time when Taxco’s silver world was largely run by men, Margot de Taxco was one of the few women to lead a major workshop. She opened her own atelier in 1948, created every design produced under her name, and directed a team of male silversmiths who translated her drawings into silver. Her work remains instantly recognizable for its precision, organic movement, and singular point of view.
The kind of archival silver that does the styling for you. Pin it to an oversized ivory blazer, black cashmere, or silk after dark. Sculptural, unexpected, and completely current.
The reverse bears the Margot de Taxco hallmark, confirming its origin in her renowned Taxco workshop. One of one and retaining its original pin closure, this collectible brooch may show subtle surface characteristics consistent with its age and history.
An exceptional piece of signed Mexican modernist jewelry for collectors of Margot de Taxco, sculptural silver, and vintage beach jewelry.
Ships within 1–3 business days via insured service and arrives in our signature pink luxury packaging, thoughtfully prepared for collecting, gifting, or archival safekeeping.
