Vintage Mexican 950 Silver & Color-Enhanced Coral Earrings – Mid-Century Modernist

A beautifully sculptural pair of vintage Mexican earrings, handcrafted in rich .950 silver and set with glowing color-enhanced coral cabochons. The stones display warm reddish-orange hues with soft, creamy white swirls—an organic pattern created by the natural structure of coral and traditional finishing techniques.

The silverwork features an elegant, flowing modernist design, characteristic of mid-century Mexican artistry, often associated with the celebrated Taxco workshops. A subtle hinged construction allows the earrings to move gently with the wearer, enhancing both comfort and wearability while adding a touch of dynamic movement to the design. The higher silver content (.950) gives these earrings a luminous, slightly softer tone than standard sterling, complementing the warmth of the coral. 

Each stone is bezel-set and uniquely patterned, making this pair especially appealing for those who appreciate natural variation and handcrafted detail. 

The earrings measure approximately 1.5" in length, .55" in width, and are secured with clutch backs.
