Margo de Taxco Design Blue Enameled Snake, Serpant Bracelet

Description

Replica of one of Margot de Taxco’s (Margot Van Voorhies Carr) most recognizable designs from the early 1950’s that earned her first place in the 1954 National Silver Fair, bracelet is made of enameled sterling silver representing a slithering snake coiling around one’s wrist. There are thirteen 3-dimensional links that fit inside the next and attach to  each other with sterling pins, with the head and tail at either end at made to twist around each other, and showing the snake’s tongue in its mouth. The enamel is light and dark blue and gives a snakeskin, scalelike appearance. 7 3/8” inside but loose enough to wear at the base of one’s hand to show off the head and tail.
Clasp is tight and there is a safety chain. Enamel is in excellent condition with no damage.
I bought this  piece about 20 years ago when visiting Mexico. It is marked "TF-32, Sterling, Mexico". Reasearch shows that after Margo closed her business and died in 1985, her former silversmiths continued to use her molds.
