The story

Why we picked it
I was drawn to this piece for its unmistakable Taxco provenance - the signed workmanship and irregular biomorphic form speak to a moment when Mexican silver artists were pushing the boundaries of mid-century modernism. The interplay between deep black onyx and hand-worked sterling gives it a sculptural presence that reads equally well against a bare neckline or layered with other vintage pieces. It is the kind of signed, one-of-a-kind work that anchors a serious jewelry collection.

The Taxco Onyx Sterling Silver Modernist Biomorphic Choker Necklace is a vintage piece crafted in Mexico during the 1960s. This unique necklace features black onyx stones set in sterling silver, with an irregular shape that adds a modernist touch. The choker style makes it a versatile accessory for all occasions, and it is signed by the artist, adding to its authenticity and value. Handmade with one-of-a-kind features, this necklace is a stunning addition to any jewelry collection, blending traditional craftsmanship with a contemporary design aesthetic.
