Item Description

Vintage Sterling Silver Parure Set by Beto – A Timeless Treasure from Taxco ✨💎

This sterling silver parure set is a stunning example of the rich heritage and artistry of Mexican silver jewelry. Originating from the famed silversmithing town of Taxco, this set was created by the highly regarded Beto silver house, known for their exceptional craftsmanship. The markings on the pieces indicate that it was made between 1935 and 1948, a period when Mexican silversmiths, influenced by American designers like Fred Davis, William Spratling, and Margo van Voorhies, began to blend traditional primitive styles with sophisticated design elements, setting the stage for the modern Mexican silver industry we admire today.

The set’s understated design and deep, rich patina highlight the elegant craftsmanship of the time, with a timeless appeal that transcends trends. As a complete parure, this set includes all the key components: a necklace, bracelet, and earrings—each piece beautifully crafted to complement one another.

This vintage set not only holds historical significance but also represents a highly coveted piece of Mexican jewelry history, making it a valuable addition to any collection.

Bid now for the chance to own this exquisite, historically significant sterling silver set from Taxco!
