William Spratling Silver Concha Shell Earrings
type: Product
description: These Vintage William Spratling Silver Concha Shell Earrings capture the sculptural modernism that made Taxco silver internationally collectible. Made by hand in Taxco, Mexico during Spratling’s celebrated 1940–1946 period, the stylized concha form transforms an organic coastal motif into jewelry that feels precise, architectural, and quietly dramatic. Created in solid sterling silver, the dimensional shell surfaces catch the light with a luminous, almost liquid glow. Organic in inspiration yet considered in execution, the design balances coastal influence with the strong lines and sculptural volume that define iconic Taxco jewelry. The pair bears two period signatures: one earring is marked “William Spratling,” while the other is stamped “Spratling Silver.” The print-circle hallmark style is associated with circa 1940–1944, supporting a date within Spratling’s first design period and giving the earrings meaningful collector significance. The strength of the design lies in its restraint—fluid line, balanced proportion, and silver allowed to speak for itself. Retaining their original screw-back construction, the earrings offer a secure and comfortable fit for non-pierced ears while preserving the integrity of the original craftsmanship. As with all authentic vintage jewelry, subtle surface characteristics are part of the piece’s history and individual character. An exceptional piece of archival Taxco jewelry for collectors of William Spratling, Mexican modernism, and sculptural vintage beach jewelry. Ships within 1–3 business days via insured service and arrives in our signature pink luxury packaging, thoughtfully prepared for collecting, gifting, or archival safekeeping.
