Gorgeous piece Taxco silver jewelry production boomed during World War II. Because Europe was unavailable as a source of luxury goods during this time, many luxury retailers in the United States, including Marshall Fields, Bonwit Teller, Macy’s, Saks Fifth Avenue, Gump’s, Filene’s, Tiffany & Co. and Neiman Marcus, purchased fine silver jewelry from Taxco designers. Taxco became something like Paris in the 1920’s, with many notable visitors seeking out the town’s colonial charm, including George Gershwin, Mae West, Aldous Huxley, Dorothy Parker, Bette Davis, Paulette Goddard, Jack Palance, John Huston, the Vanderbilts, the Rockefellers and others. Great addition to your collection
