It’s that perfect 1970s design tension: geometry + movement + a touch of mysticism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe construction is exceptional — each fan is individually formed and linked, allowing the earrings to sway freely while maintaining their bold, graphic presence. They’re substantial without being clunky, and dramatic without trying too hard. Classic wearable sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese earrings are fully and correctly signed, bearing:\u003cbr\u003e*“Fer's” – identifying the maker\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*“TC-132” – the official Mexican silver registry number.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*“925” \u0026amp; “Mexico” – confirming sterling silver content and origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis combination firmly places the earrings within the golden era of Mexican modernist silver.\u003cbr\u003eDuring the mid-20th century, Taxco emerged as the beating heart of Mexican silver design. By the 1960s–1970s, Taxco workshops were producing some of the most innovative modernist jewelry in the world — pieces inspired by Brutalist architecture, pre-Columbian forms, and clean European modernism, all interpreted through masterful silversmithing techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFer's was one of the skilled Taxco makers working during this highly collectible period, producing bold yet refined designs that emphasized form, articulation, and craftsmanship. Today, signed Taxco pieces with clear registry numbers like TC-132 are increasingly scarce and highly sought after by collectors worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeasurements :Each earring with a drop of 8.6cm x 2.3cm wide.Each of the onyx cabochons measure 6.30mm in diameter.The earrings with a combined weight of 21.8 grams.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Expedition With Jones","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50750774346034,"sku":null,"price":2395.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0871\/2110\/1106\/files\/20251222-141122.jpg?v=1766515331","url":"https:\/\/expeditionwithjones.com\/products\/rare-find-vintage-1970s-taxco-modernist-statement-earrings-by-fer-s","provider":"Expedition With Jones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
