Charming and full of personality, these vintage Taxco earrings feature whimsical penguin motifs inlaid with iridescent abalone shell. Each penguin is accented by tiny abalone stars and fine etched detailing that suggests ocean waves — a delightful blend of artistry and playfulness. Crafted in sterling silver, the earrings bear early Taxco hallmarks, including the eagle mark (possibly Eagle 1), STERLING, and the artisan’s initials AC. They are fitted with classic screwback closures, indicative of their mid-century origin. The earrings dimensions are 1 1/8 inches by 7/8 inch The weight is 8.4 grams Screw-back fasteners Hallmarked STERLING AC on one earring with what appears to be a Taxco "eagle" and other markings on the other earring In very good vintage condition.
