Vintage Los Ballesteros Taxco Sterling Silver Puffy Scallop Shell Clip Earrings Mermaid Life MM34

Los Ballesteros has been making exceptional sterling silver in Taxco since 1937, and these puffy scallop shell clip earrings show exactly why the workshop still has a devoted collector following. The shells are rendered in three dimensions — genuinely puffy, with deeply defined ribs radiating from a central point just like the real thing. High polish brings out every contour. The clip backs are solid and well-made, the kind of construction that keeps pieces wearable for generations.

Marked with the MM34 hallmark, 925, and Hecho en Mexico — the full Los Ballesteros signature. Clip-on earrings from this workshop are a great entry point into the Los Ballesteros collector market.
