Exceptional vintage Taxco, Mexico sterling silver triple-cross pendant, featuring an unusual articulated construction with three independently suspended crosses. The substantial central cross displays hand-worked geometric stampwork and a small diamond-shaped iridescent blue-green inlay, while three matching dangling crosses create dramatic movement and dimension.
The sculptural crosses feature repeating diamond motifs, curled architectural details and oxidized recesses that emphasize the traditional hand-worked character of the silver. The central inlay appears consistent with abalone shell, a material frequently incorporated into Mexican silver jewelry, although the material has not been independently verified.
