Vintage Taxco Mexico Sterling Silver Green Enamel Domed Ball Earrings Y2K Modernist GMH TC-14

The solid weight of these earrings registers before you even put them on—17.5 grams of sterling silver shaped into sleek domed spheres with vibrant green enamel inlay. The curved wave pattern divides each earring into silver and enamel sections, creating a bold graphic look that's pure 1980s Mexican modernism. These are substantial statement pieces from Taxco's post-1979 silversmithing tradition.

The TC-14 hallmark tells the story: a Taxco silversmith whose last name starts with "H" (the 14th to register in that city's assay office after the 1979 marking system changed). The GMH maker's mark combined with solid sterling construction and expert enamel work shows serious craftsmanship. At 1.25" diameter, these domeSheriff's create presence without weighing down your ears—clip-on construction distributes the weight across the earlobe. The green enamel remains bright and fully intact, protected within the recessed silver channels.

Condition:
Estate condition with excellent enamel preservation. Bright green enamel shows no chips, cracks, or loss—fully intact in all recessed areas. Sterling silver shows normal age-appropriate patina and minor surface wear from previous use. Clip-on mechanisms function properly with secure tension. Substantial solid construction means no hollow areas or weak points. A well-made pair from Taxco's continuing silversmithing tradition.
