A crescent moon this substantial deserves its own weather system. These chunky sterling moons are just under two inches long with stars and tiny crescent cutouts scattered across the face — the kind of celestial detail that catches light differently every time you move. The design is bold without being complicated, which is exactly what good Mexican silver does.
The TC-244 hallmark tells you this came out of Taxco after 1979 from a registered silversmith with surname initial C. Not a tourist piece, not a mass market import. A proper handmade Mexican silver earring from the city that built its reputation on exactly this kind of work.
At 11 grams for the pair these have real presence without being heavy. Substantial enough to make a statement, light enough to wear all day.
Condition: Estate very good. Natural patina on backs consistent with age. Posts straight and secure, butterflies included. Front faces show well with no damage.
