Taxco Mixed Metal Earrings

I'm moving slowly today. Yesterday I reseeded the front lawn, and my muscles seem to be objecting to the exercise.

Today I am going to highlight a lovely pair of mixed metal clip earrings. These are from Mom's jewelry box and were probably bought in the '80s.

The earrings are made of sterling and brass. A large silver dome is surrounded by a brass rope on a decorated scalloped silver rim. They were made in Taxco de Alaarcon, Mexico, by Javier Molina Torrescano. Taxco is well known for its silversmiths.
