This is a great pair of shell form sterling silver earrings by master silversmith, Hector Aguilar, circa 1943 to 1948 as shown by the hallmarks in Silver Masters of Mexico. Sporting a wonderful patina, the earrings close with well working screwbacks. Hector Aguilar began working for William Spratling in 1936 before opening his own workshop in 1939. Aguilar had many, many well known craftsmen working for him during the years and he was also involved in many innovative Taxco ventures. Penny Morrill has dedicated a whole book to Aguilar and the Taller Borda called Silver Masters of Mexico.

Aguilar's work is highly desired. Hallmark: HA Made in Mexico Sterling. Size: 1" x 13/16"; Grams: 10. Condition: Excellent vintage - I have only lightly buffed, you may wish to polish more, though I think the patina is just perfect.
