A lovely set of vintage 1940s handmade sterling silver Mexican Art Deco floral design brooch pin and earrings by Margot Van Voorhies Carr for Los Castillo in Taxco, Mexico. Very pretty entirely handmade and curvaceous early design by Margot when she was married to Antonio Castillo in the early days of Los Castillo. Margot was the head designer there for most of the 1940s, and this set is a great example of the lushness of her sculptural design in the early days! The brooch measures 2.5" by 2". The earrings measure 1-1/8" by just under 1". Total weight for the set is 1.2 ounce or roughly 34 grams total. Marked as shown, "Los Castillo Taxco Sterling Made in Mexico" with design number "723" on the brooch, and the earrings are marked with design number "721". From a local Tucson estate, and in such great shape after all these years! Excellent vintage condition.

I'm guessing this pendant is from the late 1940s 1946-47, just before the advent of the Eagle mark system in 1948. It's no doubt one of Margots later designs for Los Castillo just before her divorce from Antonio Castillo. A romantic possibly antique carved coral cameo, I'm guessing of Italian origin, overtop a hinged compartment for a photo of a loved one. Remember, this was either at the end of or just after the Second World War, and romantic tokens were all the rage! Probably special-made at a customer's request who more than likely supplied the coral cameo, possibly from an antique necklace or pendant originally. Measures 2-3/8" tall by 1-1/2" wide by 5/8" at thickest point, and hangs on a later-added sterling chain. Marked "Los Castillo Taxco Sterling Made in Mexico" at back.
