This Vintage 16" Taxco Mexico Black Onyx or Obsidian (?) Necklace is a unique piece of jewelry that showcases traditional Mexican craftsmanship. The necklace features 17 black bezel set square main stones, all set in 925 sterling silver. The necklace was handmade in Taxco, Mexico by artist TF - 53.

This necklace is a classic example of 

Taxco Modernist jewelry from Mexico. 

The "Modernist" style, which flourished in Taxco from the mid-20th century (roughly the 1940s through the 1980s), is characterized by bold, geometric designs and high-quality craftsmanship in sterling silver. Key features of this specific style include: 

• Geometric Links: The necklace uses substantial, architectural links—in this case, square or "window-frame" shapes.

• Contrasting Inlays: Modernist Taxco pieces frequently pair bright sterling silver with dark, flat-polished stones like black onyx to create a striking visual contrast.

• Influential Designers: This aesthetic was popularized by renowned silversmiths like Antonio Pineda and Ana Núñez Brilanti (Victoria de Taxco), whose work often featured similar heavy-gauge links and square-cut
