Margot de Taxco, born Van Voorhies Carr in San Francisco, moved to Taxco, Mexico, in 1937. She worked with Los Castillo and many of their early pieces show Margot’s unique designs. She was influenced by Mexican, Greek and Japanese art and culture, and designed some of the most stunning hand wrought jewelry, but is best known for her silver and enamel works of art. Margot produced and designed jewelry until the later 1970’s. Her stunning works of art are highly collectible and continue to rise in value.
