Vintage Taxco Sterling Silver Collar Necklace · Hammered Mexican Modernist Ch...

A striking vintage Mexican sterling silver collar necklace with a beautifully hand-hammered finish and an elegant graduated silhouette. The slender ends sweep around the neck before gradually widening into a substantial hammered centre, creating a clean, sculptural look that feels distinctly modernist.
 
The hammered surface catches the light beautifully, giving the silver wonderful texture without needing any additional ornamentation. Its open-back collar construction allows it to sit neatly around the base of the neck and makes a statement whether worn alone or layered with other silver jewellery.
 
Crafted in Mexico and stamped TC-66, 925 and MEXICO. The TC-66 mark is a Mexican silversmith registration mark associated with Taxco production. The individual maker has not been definitively identified, so the necklace is being attributed to Taxco based on its hallmark rather than to a named silversmith.
 
At approximately 35 grams, this is a substantial piece of sterling silver jewellery with the quality and presence collectors look for in vintage Mexican silver.
 
Please note: The display mannequin is smaller than a human neck, so the necklace will fit differently when worn.
