Gerardo Lopez Sterling Clamper Bracelet and Earring Set in Original Box

Description: This wonderful vintage bracelet and earring set are marked Sterling 925 Lopez Taxco Hencho en Mexico with a 26 Bell. I found this about Gerardo Lopez : "THIS FABULOUS OLD "GERARDO LOPEZ" NECKLACE (This is a Bracelet and Earrings) IS FULLY HALLMARKED WITH LOPEZ'S DISTINCTIVE STYLIZED "LOPEZ" LOGO AND HIS "TAXCO" STAMPS, IN ADDITION TO THE "STERLING", "HECHO EN MEXICO"AND "925" STAMPS AND LASTLY HIS PERSONALIZED "26 EAGLE". PHOTOS OF THESE EXACT SAME HALLMARKS ARE SHOWN ON PAGE 96 OF AUTHOR BILLE HOUGART'S SUPERB VOLUME ON HALLMARKS, THE LITTLE BOOK OF MEXICAN SILVER TRADE AND HALLMARKS , (2006 EDITION). GERARDO LOPEZ WAS ONE OF THE ORIGINAL "ZORITAS" OR "LITTLE FOXES" AT THE RENOWNED WILLIAM SPRATLING'S "TALLER DE LAS DELICIAS", BEFORE BRANCHING OUT AND STARTING HIS OWN "TALLER" OR WORKSHOP IN TAXCO. LOPEZ IS CONSIDERED TO BE ONE OF THE BEST OLD TAXCO SILVERMASTERS AND HE IS CONSIDERED ONE OF THE TRUE GENIUSES AND A LEADING LIGHT OF THE MEXICAN SILVER "RENAISSANCE". COLLECTORS WILL NOTE THAT THIS LOPEZ CREATION LIKELY DATES TO THE MID TO LATE 1950'S. AFTER THAT TIME THE PERSONALIZED, NUMBERED ASSAY EAGLE HALLMARKS FELL OUT OF FAVOR AND WERE OFTEN NO LONGER USED. GERARDO LOPEZÂ'S WORK IS HIGHLY COLLECTIBLE" This clamper style bracelet measures 4" across the top. The screw earrings measure 2" x 1" and everything is in wonderful condition including the original box with a picture of Lopez Silver Factory on the top.
