Design 5192 is one of the numbered enamel models that made up Margot de Taxco's catalogue, the number identifying the piece within the workshop's inventory (Morrill, pdf p. 15). The numbering itself was the spine of her practice, each design fixed and repeatable.
The bracelet's color is sealed into the silver by the champlevé enamel technique Margot perfected into a major line, after it was first initiated at Los Castillo by Reveriano Castillo and Miguel Melendez (Morrill, p. 166). For each design she wrote instructions specifying the dies and the enamel colors (Morrill, p. 168).
