DESCRIPTION : This is an EXTRAORDINARY sterling silver and enamel necklace that was handwrought in Taxco, Mexico, after 1948, by silver maestra, MARGOT van VOORHIES CARR (?-1985) of MARGOT de TAXCO. Margot moved to Mexico City with friends from San Francisco in 1937. She was introduced to Antonio Castillo by Antonio's sister, Maria. Antonio and Margot married while Antonio was still working for William Spratling's Las Delicias . Margot would design jewelry that Antonio would produce at night ~ these pieces sold so well that Antonio left William Spratling and Las Delicias and opened LOS CASTILLO with Margot and his brothers. Margot and Antonio divorced after about 10 years and Margot opened MARGOT DE TAXCO in 1948. "As the Stars are to the Night, So are Jewels to the Woman" was on her calling card ~ this statement represents Margot's dedication to designing classical and feminine art-to-wear jewelry that is elegantly timeless. This spectacular necklace is masterfully crafted in a timelessly classic design that has a great art deco look ~ Margot consistently marked her jewelry with a design number and her silver with enamel pieces were numbered 5109 through 5922 ~ the design of this necklace is 5899. The center of the necklace has two large silver links with intertwining scroll designs that have the most magnificent Champlevé enamel
