Enamel-on-silver necklaces are the form most closely identified with Margot van Voorhies Carr's taller, and design 5201 falls in the mature range of the numbered catalog she maintained from her workshop's founding through the final decades of her career. Morrill records that the enamel-on-silver line she perfected in her own studio became a signature distinguished by color, texture, and technical precision, sustained across nearly four decades of production. The design-numbering system she used — Morrill confirms it was common practice among the leading Taxco workshops, with smaller numbers indicating earlier work — places 5201 firmly among her later, more considered models.
On necklaces in this medium carrying her numbered stamps, the design number serves as one of the clearest points of reference for situating a piece within her catalog: form, material, and period all readable from a single mark.
