A sterling-and-enamel cuff registered as design fifty-four-oh-three in Margot de Taxco's numbered catalog, this bracelet belongs to the champlevé enamel-on-silver line she developed from her years at the Los Castillo workshop into one of the defining signatures of her taller. Morrill writes that her champlevé necklaces, bracelets, and earrings "continue to be glittering displays of color, texture, and technical perfection" (Morrill & Berk, Mexican Silver, 1994, p. 166), a judgment this cuff sustains in its confident proportions and assured finish.
At just under an inch and a half wide with a close interior circumference, the bracelet weighs 1.77 troy ounces — substantial enough that the piece holds its presence on the wrist. The interior bears the complete mark set: "Margot de Taxco Sterling" paired with Eagle 22, the Mexican assay stamp certifying sterling content and placing the piece squarely within her numbered production run.
