RARE 1970's Silver Shell Earrings - 925 order Sterling Silver - Possibly made in Mexico - Statement Sized - Lovely Signs of Age - Unique

Rare Original Vintage Silver Earrings - Possibly made in Mexico, dated circa 1970's

Stamped 925 on the back for Sterling Silver

Hollow with a cast panel and back plate (creating a dome effect)

Old style ear wire

Fantastic shell motif with bead work within curved recess

Lovely signs of age around the bead-work, complexity of the design and the ear-wires - I believe they are Mexican, possibly Taxco, who made similar early designs around shell-like forms.

Condition: Good to very good vintage condition, statement sized with some dirt/polish build-up around the beadwork and scuffs/scratching throughout (good sign of age, and common with used silver), the ear wires are a little irregular because they have to be bent in and out of shape to attach (which is easy to do and in fact easier than some earrings styles!) - also order an early style.
