Bring sculptural mid-century artistry into your jewelry collection with this vintage Taxco sterling silver grape leaf brooch / pendant, handcrafted in Mexico during the golden age of Taxco silverwork.
This striking botanical design features hand-pierced grapevine leaves with deeply engraved vein detailing and dimensional grape clusters. Heavy-gauge sterling silver is shaped and soldered over a wire armature — a hallmark of true artisan Taxco construction rather than cast mass-market jewelry.
The piece is fully convertible, allowing it to be worn as a brooch or as a pendant on a chain via the integrated bail loop.
The reverse is stamped MEXICO 925 TC-106, identifying a registered Taxco silversmith workshop active in the mid-20th century.
